Perfume Parlour's take on the opulent Majestic Amber Arabian oriental. It captures the saffron-spice opening and resinous frankincense-and-ambergris glow that defines the genre, but the budget render thins out the original's creamy, beast-mode depth into something warm but more wearable.

Divisive and bold, New York Amber is a beast of a scent that some adore for its rich, oriental character and others reject as synthetic and overwhelming. Be warned: it's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of fragrance, with monstrous projection and longevity.
