Amber Fragrances
Amber fragrances: the accord that does not exist in nature
An essential point to understand this family: amber in perfumery is not a raw material. It is an accord, a historical construction built mainly on labdanum, vanilla and benzoin. It should not be confused with ambergris, which is of animal origin and has a completely different profile, nor with fossil amber, which has no olfactory use.
The result is a sensation of enveloping warmth, at once resinous, powdery and slightly sweet. It is the family of rich and persistent sillage, which unfold slowly and leave a lasting impression on clothing. It is also sometimes called "oriental", the two terms largely overlapping.
What characterizes an amber fragrance
- A constructed accord: labdanum, vanilla and balsamic resins
- A resinous and powdery warmth, never fresh
- One of the longest-lasting fragrances in perfumery
- Frequent reinforcements of spices, oud and tobacco
An autumnal and wintery register, very close to our oriental fragrances.
