Amber Molecule

Amber Molecule is the amber of the Perfumer's Story range, a scent the brand describes as the memory of a beautiful love affair, tender, intimate and impossible to forget. It began life as a character fragrance for a film and is sold as an eau de parfum in 30 and 150 ml. Warm amber sits at the heart, softened by delicate orris and lily of the valley on top, with tuberose and a soft rose giving a sensual floral depth. The base is French powder, sandalwood, vanilla and musk. Wearers find a flower-infused powder with a pleasing hint of warm skin rather than a syrupy amber, sheer and airy for a scent built on two heavy ingredients. Some smell a powdery rose, others the orris first; the dry-down is where opinion splits, from a comforting vanilla rose to a touch of baby powder. Wear is long for most voters and the sillage sits at moderate. Every vote that mentions time of day says night, and winter leads the season votes with spring and autumn close behind. It is a bedtime scent for some and an evening scent with a black dress for others. It is listed for women, though votes are split and a few wearers find it masculine or musky on their skin. It suits anyone who wants a soft, glamorous amber and does not mind powder, and it sits in the same warm, vintage-leaning territory as the old-fashioned powdery orientals.
