Atelier Materi Bois d'Ambrette EDP in detail
Atelier Materi is the house behind Bois d'Ambrette EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
Bois d'Ambrette: day or night?
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its amber side feels cosy and rich after dark.
Best season for Bois d'Ambrette
The best time of year to wear it is fall. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: fall, winter, spring and summer.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Atelier Materi Peau D'Ambrette unisex and Initio Parfums Prives Blessed Baraka last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like ambroxan and musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €254. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Creed Aventus Cologne and Frederic Malle Editions De Parfums Frederic Malle Uncut Gem but less than Initio Parfums Prives Blessed Baraka.
