Amber FusionOriental Woody Extrait de Parfum

Amber Fusion by Karakash is an oriental, woody, and spicy perfume extract, unisex, created by Marc Zini. Papyrus in the base, the material that smells like old paper.

Twelve fragrances, seven perfumers, one single year

Karakash Perfume is a Turkish haute parfumerie house, and its history has this particularity: all twelve of its fragrances were launched in the same year, in 2023 — a complete collection from the outset. Even rarer: these twelve creations are signed by seven different noses — Mohammad Tammam Mando, Jean-Michel Santorini, Amandine Galliano, Marc Zini, Marie Huguenot, Laure-Leta Jacquet, and Émilie Bouge. The bottles are sculptural, and the house's narrative revolves around self-preparation and confidence.

An opening of bergamot, cardamom, and rose

Bergamot opens with a bright citrus note, cardamom brings its camphor freshness, and black pepper its dry bite. Rose arrives right from the start, giving the opening an unexpected roundness in such a spicy composition.

A heart of incense and cashmere wood

Incense establishes the resin, nutmeg extends the spice, while cedarwood and cashmere wood provide the woody structure — the former dry, the latter softer and milkier.

A base of papyrus, amber, and vetiver

Papyrus — Egyptian cypriol — brings its scent of old paper and dry smoke. Amber provides the balsamic warmth, vetiver the earthiness, and musk the longevity on the skin.

The house's signature touch

Papyrus, placed beneath the amber. It is a material that few houses use: extracted from the corm root, it smells of aged paper, cold smoke, and dry dust. Beneath a warm amber, it prevents the base from becoming syrupy and gives it the texture of an old document rather than resin. This is what distinguishes this oriental fragrance from classic ambers.

For whom, for what occasions?

Oriental, woody, and spicy, this extract is for those who love woody orientals and incense, and are looking for a dry rather than sweet amber. From autumn to winter, for evening wear. It is the most mineral of the twelve.

With Amber Fusion Karakash, an amber takes on the texture of an old document.
