Dossier Ambery Oakwood
Ambery Oakwood is Dossier's boozy gourmand interpretation of Kilian Angels' Share, built around cognac, cinnamon and candied fruit before moving through oakwood, coffee and myrrh into a tonka, vanilla and praline drydown.
Mykonos Dark Secret
Dark Secret is a rich spiced cherry oriental extrait built around the intoxicating combination of saffron, black cherry, and praline over a warm sandalwood and tonka base, inspired by the boozy cherry spice territory of By Kilian Angels' Share but taking a darker, more mysterious direction rooted in spice and incense rather than cognac.
