This doesn’t sound like my sort of thing, but what gorgeous packaging!
Seriously…bottle love!!!!
Yes, that bottle is really nice in that color.
May I ask what is cistus?
Another name for labdanum (cistus labdanum in Latin I think).
The smell reminded me of something I couldn’t pinpoint, until someone mentioned plasticine.
And yes, it’s like an unsweetened amber with a dash of plasticine!
I mean the raw material cistus/labdanum. The Musc Noble is beyond my stratosphere.
Thank you des esseintes, I was slow to get back here and see this question!
And yes, cistus is generally one component of an amber accord.
À propos unsweetened amber: Monsieur Guerlain descrives Musc Noble as an “ambre sec.”
Overall the packaging for the Les Absolus d’Orient series has been really nice.
The notes sound nice although cistus can be hit or miss for me. I haven’t liked any that I’ve tried in this line but probably won’t have the opportunity to test it anyway. The bottle is really nice.
