Amber Perfumes

Amber — the family perfumery used to call "oriental" — is the territory of warmth: resins, balsams, vanilla, labdanum and sweet spices in enveloping compositions that suit the cold season and the evening. In this section you'll find all fragrances with an amber character: from classic ambers to drier modern interpretations.

How to choose an amber perfume

Your compass is the register of the amber: classic ambers (labdanum, benzoin, vanilla) are the most comforting and enveloping; spicy ones — lit up by cinnamon or saffron — have a big-night character; woody and incense ambers lean towards dry, unisex territory; fresh ones, cut with citrus, make the family wearable by day too. The season matters: ambers come alive in the cold, when the warmth of the skin develops them slowly.

Frequently asked questions

Are amber and oriental the same thing?

Yes: "amber" is the contemporary name for the oriental family, centred on its founding material — the amber accord.

Do amber perfumes last longer than others?

Generally yes: resins and balsams are among the most tenacious materials in perfumery, lasting through the day and lingering on fabrics.

Are they suitable for summer?

Fresh versions and light application, yes, especially in the evening; dense classic ambers are at their best from October to April.
