Embers forms part of a collection exploring the dark side of an enchanted garden with each fragrance representing one of the elements - air, earth, water, fire and aether.
With such a name this fragrance could only mean one thing - fire - so we anticipate woods, smoke, heat as part of a deep heavy fragrance.
Spices are the first aromas we encounter..... pink pepper, nutmeg and clove quickly rising to our noses followed by sweet resinous notes. There are floral notes of freesia and jasmine along side cistus (our aroma of the week) at the heart of this fragrance however the floral element is very subtle, just providing the perfect balance between spice and the delicious rich base notes.
As the perfume settles a beautiful resinous sweetness comes through, deep and warming, enveloping us in a dream like warmth - it gives the feeling of being wrapped in a soft and comforting cashmere blanket. Some fragrances in this genre go heavy on the smoky element but in this has just a whisper of smoke from the incense - perfect!
Without doubt this fragrance could be worn by either sex and definitely one we are adding to our wish list, whether we choose to share it another matter.........
