Amber

The amber scent profile is warm, rich, and deeply comforting. Unlike floral or citrus notes, amber isn't a single natural ingredient, but a "fantasy accord" traditionally crafted by perfumers to evoke a sense of golden warmth. The Profile: Sweet, resinous, cozy, and slightly powdery with a subtle touch of spice. The Composition: It is almost always created by blending earthy, balsamic plant resins usually labdanum and benzoin with the rich sweetness of vanilla. The Role: Amber is a powerhouse base note. It provides a luxurious, heavy foundation that lingers on the skin for hours, forming the backbone of the Amber (formerly Oriental) fragrance family.
