Amber Musk
Four materials in all: amber opens, musk takes over, ambergris and cedar close. A minimal construction, resting on the quality of its four materials alone.
'Ilm
Six materials: sandalwood, gurjun balsam, cedar and oakmoss make the wood, while ambergris and amber bring the warmth. A dry, wide woodiness with almost no counterpoint.
