" ...'O tidings of comfort and joy', carolers sing. Ambra di Venezia is a perfume whose warm, jewel-like clarity manages the trick
of being completely unclassifiable. It was created by Rayda Vega for the New York designer Montgomery Taylor, who once saw an orange
sunset in a purple Venetian sky and asked for that evening in scent. I've never smelled anything quite like the result
-- not a floral,
not an amber, this is a rich sweetness, creamy velvet like a glass of Sicilian passito. I have never offered it to anyone who did
not inhale and instantly relax, reassured as if by a caress. Which makes Ambra di Venezia's classification clear: it is angelic --
the scent of comfort and joy."
