AMBER FRAGRANCES

Amber perfume typically smells warm, smooth and enveloping. The accord often combines sweet resins with notes such as vanilla, woods and musk or spice, although every composition is different. Explore our wider perfume selection to compare amber with other fragrance families.

Amber fragrances tend to centre on warm resins, woods and musk and spice, while gourmand fragrances take inspiration from food and drink. The two families can overlap, particularly when an amber scent includes vanilla, caramel or tonka.

Amber fragrances often include rich base notes that become more noticeable as the scent settles, but longevity depends on the full composition, concentration and how it wears on your skin. Layering with a complementary body product can help build the scent. Discover more in our guide to layering fragrances.
