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 an Acquired verdict, a amber-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.

Its warm and balsamic nature, combined with moderate sillage, makes it suitable for relaxed social occasions and dates.

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.
