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.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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 opens with a subtle whisper of bergamot and freesia, quickly melting into a heart of rich labdanum and creamy tonka bean. The base unfurls into a gorgeous, golden blend of warm amber, smooth vanilla, and a grounding touch of cedar. It's a sweet, balmy affair, evoking a deep, resinous warmth that feels both ancient and utterly modern.
