Ambre Superfluide
On request
Spiced, resinous, glowing vanilla
Vanille Supermassive is an extrait that treats vanilla as a glowing centre rather than a sugary one. A pull of spice draws patchouli and white musks along, woody notes appear like a constellation, and the vanilla rises last. The brand ties it to the abyss and the universe. The bottle holds 100 ml.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all...
The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
A short, bright start: bergamot gives a clean citrus lift, and elemi adds a peppery, resinous freshness that already hints at what follows. It does not linger. The opening is a thin layer of light over a deep composition, and the spice arrives almost at once.
Cinnamon leads the heart, warm and dry, with fir balsam adding a cool, coniferous resin and labdanum a darker, ambery sweetness. This is the pull the brand describes, spices dragging the base notes upwards into a hazy, dense middle. The mood is warm and resinous rather than sweet.
Vanilla and caramel come through last, with patchouli giving an earthy, woody floor and ambroxan and white musks smoothing everything into a soft, glowing haze. Caramel adds some sweetness, but the spice and resin keep the vanilla from reading as dessert. The trail is dense, in keeping with an extrait.
Wearing it
An extrait: one or two sprays are enough, and it rewards patience, because the vanilla takes time to surface. It is made for evenings, cool weather and occasions when you want a scent with presence. In heat it can feel heavy; apply sparingly or keep it for cooler days.
Anyone who likes vanilla but finds sweet gourmand versions too sugary: the spice, patchouli and resins give it a more serious tone. It suits people who like warm, dense scents with some darkness in them, and who wear perfume for evenings, dinners or the colder months.
Supermassive is the house's extrait-only range, and Vanille is where its cosmic theme is turned on a single material. Before bottling, the house exposes its finished compositions to classical music tuned to 432 Hz, part of how its finished compositions mature at the estate near Arras.
Questions
An extrait de parfum, which carries a higher share of perfume oil than an eau de parfum. In practice that means a thicker, slower scent that is meant to last, and a light hand is enough.
The brand describes it as a spicy, resinous take on vanilla rather than a sugary one. Caramel and vanilla bring warmth, but cinnamon, labdanum and patchouli keep it from tipping into dessert.
Evenings and the cooler seasons suit it best, as do dinners and occasions where you want some presence. In summer heat, a single spray is plenty.
The bottle holds 100 ml. It is a good gift for someone who loves vanilla but likes it spiced and resinous rather than sweet.
The house
Les Eaux Primordiales is a perfume manufacture founded in 2015 near Arras in northern France by Arnaud Poulain. Its ranges carry names from science, and the perfumes, from linen-fresh musk to amber, vanilla and oud, are designed and bottled at its own estate.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
