Vanilla amber accord

A variation on the amber accord in which vanilla takes the lead. The resins lose a little of their gravity and gain a round, almost gourmand softness, like a warm balm.
What it brings
It wraps the base of a fragrance, softens woods and spices, and leaves a warm trail that lasts for hours.
