Aromatic Minted Amber Radiance: Houbigant Ambre des Abysses Eau de Parfum
Immerse yourself in the faceted, bold contrast of sparkling aromatic freshness fused with sumptuous ambery depths in Houbigant Ambre des Abysses Eau de Parfum, launched in 2023 as a unisex oriental-aromatic gem—expertly composed by Luca Maffei and Antoine Lie to marry vibrant citrus-mint sparks with herbal-floral elegance and creamy, resinous warmth. Celebrated as a refined, luxurious take on fresh amber with prominent mint coolness, geranium herbalcy, and rich vanilla-tonka creaminess, it's often praised as a high-quality, surprising niche standout—balancing bracing aromatic lift with soft, enveloping sweetness, addictive layering, and impressive depth in a timeless yet modern composition.
This intriguing elixir opens with an unexpected, sparkling burst of bergamot, orange blossom, and mint leaves for bright, citrusy-minted freshness that's lively and invigorating, then transitions into a heart of rosemary, geranium, jasmine, patchouli, and amber for aromatic-herbal sophistication with floral softness and earthy grounding, finally settling into a base of vanilla, tonka bean, oakmoss, and leather for creamy, woody warmth with subtle smokiness and enduring elegance. It’s fresh yet creamy, aromatic yet ambery, cool yet comforting—like mint-garnished orange blossom over geranium-rosemary herbs, anchored in vanilla-tonka richness that lingers as a polished, seductive aura of hidden depths and refinement.
It bursts forth with bergamot-mint—citrusy, cool, and strikingly vibrant with aromatic lift. The heart reveals rosemary and geranium alongside jasmine, crafting a structured, herbal-floral core that’s balanced, fresh, and captivating. It dries down to a luxurious, lingering vanilla-amber embrace—creamy, sweet, and subtly leathery—forming an enduring, sophisticated trail that’s unisex, versatile, and endlessly alluring.

Frequently hailed as a standout in Houbigant’s modern lineup—mint-forward freshness, geranium-herbal core, vanilla-tonka creamy iconic, with a strikingly clean yet profound vibe—Ambre des Abysses is described as uniting a sparkling mint-citrus opening, intriguing aromatic-floral heart, and deep creamy-woody base (often praised as a "fresh amber revelation," opulent yet wearable, with cooling brightness and comforting depth). It’s a versatile all-season performer (ideal for spring/summer daytime crispness or fall/winter cozy elegance, perfect from office refinement to evening allure) that consistently earns compliments for its distinctive sillage, elegant projection, and irresistible unisex appeal.
Performance shines as an Eau de Parfum: 8-10+ hours longevity (evolves gracefully from minted sparkle to creamy-woody finish), moderate to strong projection (generous yet refined trail), and solid staying power—transitioning seamlessly into a lingering sophisticated embrace. Fragrance enthusiasts rave about its premium-quality materials, innovative aromatic-amber synergy, and effortless luxury, though some note its bold herbal-mint opening—ideal for those seeking elevated fresh-oriental scents with cooling vibrancy and creamy contrast.

Very good
Houbigant really impresses my with their quality and their modern scents with a classic touch. Ambre des Abysses is no different. Almost a candied amber accord with the tonka. Yet fresh with the mint and oakmoss keeping it interesting. Very well done.
