Laboratory Perfumes Amber is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2012. Amber opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Birch, and Pepper, 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 green-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.

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.

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.
