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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer

Built on amber, citrus and woody - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its rich, resinous amber character makes it a strong contender for dates and formal events, commanding attention without being overwhelming. While too opulent for the gym, its underlying dryness allows for some casual wear, though its intensity might be a bit much for a typical office environment.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • 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

Ambre Obscur opens with a zesty burst of orange and bergamot, cutting through the initial richness. This bright introduction quickly gives way to a dominant, warm amber heart, softened by a whisper of jasmine. As it settles, a complex base emerges, weaving together earthy labdanum, deep patchouli, and grounding vetiver, all underpinned by a subtly sweet vanilla and a hint of musk. It's an amber that manages to be both dry and opulent, full-bodied yet refined.
