Laboratory Perfumes Amber is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2012. Amber opens with Redcurrant Leaf, Bergamot, Lemon, and Birch, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Jasmine, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Oakmoss. Laboratory Perfumes's Amber carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you, this 'Amber' is a fresh, peppery, woody-green scent, not a warm, cosy one. It's often compared to Aventus, offering a similar vibe without the pineapple. Performance is divisive, but it's generally clean, versatile, and understated.

About

Opens with a peppery, green burst of juniper and zesty citrus, leading into a refined heart of lavender and jasmine. The dry down reveals a subtle leather and oakmoss base, rounded out by a surprisingly fresh musk, rather than a traditional heavy amber. It's an aromatic and woody experience from start to finish.
