Ambre d'Alexandrie

Indeed, Boucheron used to send stone hunters roaming the entire planet in search of exceptional finds. Today, now that the house is launching into perfumery, it has chosen to pay tribute to its hunters of dreams in search of perfection. Its fragrance collection is a nod to various symbolic places around the globe, and this is how the perfume Ambre d'Alexandrie came to be.

Boucheron takes us to Egypt

As the name of this perfume suggests, it plunges us into the city of Alexandria, in Egypt. Picture the splendor of the pharaohs, the exceptional history of this city. While Alexandria is one of the most important hubs of present-day Egypt, it is also a city that was born in 322 BC thanks to Alexander the Great. It is precisely this timelessness and universality that is found in the perfume Ambre d'Alexandrie. It is steeped in sunshine and carries us directly to the shores of the Mediterranean.

The sun-drenched formula of Ambre d'Alexandrie

Ambre d'Alexandrie is an oriental, amber, precious perfume. It possesses a certain sweetness while delivering narcotic, hypnotic effluvia. Its composition was crafted by perfumer Jean-Christophe Hérault. Its opening takes flight on the exotic alliance of vanilla and tobacco. Often reserved for the base notes of perfumes, these facets immediately display the suave character of this composition. They are wrapped in the sweetness of benzoin. Then, a more animalic, floral heart takes over. It is composed of amber and labdanum. Finally, the sensuality of this fragrance literally explodes in its sillage. This combines ambergris and musk, which only adds a slightly marine touch to its carnal character. Pack your bags: Boucheron clearly intends to set the imagination wandering and carry it into the heart of the Orient.
