Dior 2009 EDP
Ambre Nuit
Dior Ambre Nuit is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009. Ambre Nuit opens with Bergamot and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Rose and Pink Pepper, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, Guaiac Wood, and Ambergris. Dior's Ambre Nuit carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.
This is a truly divisive one. Some rave about its luxurious, cosy perfection, calling it a masterpiece that can be worn anywhere. Others say it's weak, unoriginal, and smells like an old lady or even 'whale vomit'. Best to try before you buy.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Its elegant and sophisticated amber-rose profile makes it a strong contender for date nights and formal events, with many reviews highlighting its luxurious feel. While some find it office-safe due to its moderate sillage and 'not loud' character, others find it too rich for daily wear. It's generally not suited for sport given its heavy notes and occasion-specific vibe.
