Histoires de Parfums Ambre 114 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2001, created by Sylvie Jourdet, Gérald Ghislain, and Magali Sénéquier. Ambre 114 opens with Nutmeg and Thyme, settles into a heart of Cedar, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Histoires de Parfums's Ambre 114 carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is a seriously solid amber, leaning into classic territory without feeling dated. Ignore the whingers who find it too powdery or boring; it’s a beautifully blended, warm embrace that’s an easy reach for amber lovers. Some lament dilution in recent formulations, but it still performs well enough for most.

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:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its warm and balsamic nature, combined with moderate sillage, makes it suitable for relaxed social occasions and dates. While some find it office-friendly due to its balanced nature, its sweetness and noticeable presence might be too much for formal office wear. It's definitely not one for the gym.

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.

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Ambre 114 opens with a dry, spicy kick of nutmeg and thyme, quickly mellowing into a rich, resinous amber heart. Hints of rose and geranium add a subtle, almost vintage, softness before a creamy, vanillic drydown takes over. It's a journey from aromatic spice to a smooth, sweet, and cozy amber, underpinned by balsamic warmth.
