Clive Christian Perfume Amberwood is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Ilias Ermenidis. Amberwood opens with Angelica, Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Sage, settles into a heart of Helvetolide, Woody Notes, Patchouli, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Musk, Iris, and Vanilla. Clive Christian Perfume's Amberwood carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a divisive one, often compared to the much cheaper Prada Luna Rossa Black. While some rave about its luxurious complexity and superior performance, others find it shockingly similar, overpriced, and even a bit boring. It's a high-class debate, this one.

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.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Given its musky-woody amber profile and noted strong, dense sillage by some, this scent leans towards evening and cooler weather occasions. While versatile enough for some casual wear, its luxurious feel and significant price tag make it particularly well-suited for dates and formal events.

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

Amberwood opens with a refined, aromatic blend of sage and bergamot, subtly spiced by pink pepper before settling into a heart of smooth, dry woods and a sophisticated tobacco leaf. Deeper still, a creamy, musky amber accord emerges, warmed by vanilla and tonka, and softened by powdery orris and cashmere wood. Ambroxan provides a silky, modern backdrop.
