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

Molton Brown's Neon Amber kicks off with a spirited burst of pink pepper and zesty mandarin, underpinned by leafy violet. Soon, it settles into a heart of dry cedar and creamy tonka bean, adding a gentle woody sweetness. The real star is the base: an enveloping, musky amber accord, bolstered by animalic labdanum and a significant ambroxan presence that provides both depth and a touch of modern synthetic sheen. It's a warm, inviting, yet subtly dynamic scent.
