Ferrari Amber Essence (2016) is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Amber Essence (2016) opens with Bergamot, Coriander, and Frankincense, settles into a heart of Cashmere Wood, Virginia Cedarwood, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Patchouli. Ferrari's Amber Essence (2016) carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Divisive. Some will love this woody-amber as an elegant, drier take on the note, but many found the amber subdued and the performance lacking. Not a safe blind buy, despite the reasonable price.

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.

Its moderate sillage and sophisticated, slightly dry amber profile make it suitable for office wear and formal events without being overpowering. The warm, woody notes also lend themselves well to evening dates, though the performance might require reapplication.

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.

About

Opens with a bright, clean burst of bergamot and frankincense, softened by a hint of coriander spice. The heart reveals a robust woodiness from cashmere and Virginia cedarwood, warmed by nutmeg. It settles into a musky, amber-patchouli base, drier and less sweet than typical amber fragrances, with an almost incensy quality.
