Houbigant Ambre des Abysses EDP
About this fragrance
Amber meets the deep sea. Warm resin with a salt-air twist.
Houbigant Ambre des Abysses is Olivier Cresp at his most cinematic, an amber composition with marine and salt accords layered through the heart, anchored in oud, labdanum, and ambergris. The effect is warm and resinous but never heavy, with a strange coastal coolness running through it.
It opens with cardamom, pink pepper, and a faint sea-salt freshness that you do not expect from an amber. Cypress, cinnamon, and rose add depth through the heart. Then the base unfolds slowly, amber and labdanum wrapping around oud and vetiver for eight-plus hours of warm, slightly briny resin.
Evenings, cool weather, signature scent territory. A full bottle is $285+. Try a 5ml first.

Size guide: which decant should I get?
New to this scent? Start with 2ml. It's enough to wear it several times and see how it develops on your skin.
Already love it? 5ml is the best value per wear and fits in a pocket or bag.
Daily signature? 10ml gives you a month or more of regular wear for a fraction of the full bottle.
