Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Built on amber, woody and fresh spicy - a composition that sits best in spring, autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong amber and spicy profile, this oil is best suited for formal occasions and romantic evenings where a powerful, luxurious impression is desired. It's too potent and distinctive for casual wear or the office, and entirely inappropriate for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Amber Absolute Oil opens with a bright, zesty burst of mandarin and bergamot, spiced with a fresh kick of ginger. This vibrant top soon settles into a rich, warm heart where frankincense and cinnamon intertwine with a delicate rose, adding a touch of powdery sophistication. The grand finale is an enveloping base of deep, resinous amber, smooth vanilla, and earthy papyrus, all underpinned by a soft musk and the balsamic warmth of styrax. It's a symphony of warm spice and golden amber, beautifully balanced with fresh elements.
