Description of Amber accords

Amber notes are generally warm and sensual. The Amber accord is based on vanilla or coumarin (odour of fresh-mown hay) which are obtained with ingredients such as Tonka bean, Ambrette seed, Vanilla, Frankincense, Myrrh, Styrax benzoin and Cistus labdanum. The amber perfumes are divided into the following groups:

• Sweet amber: classic base with sweet ingredients such as vanilla, characterised by warmth and sweetness.
• Amber Spicy floral: The addition of clove bud or carnation gives a strong floral smell to this type of perfume.
• Amber Citrus: Citrus notes are highly present in this amber accord.
• Amber floral woody: Oriental perfumes with more woody notes such as agarwood (Oudh)
• Amber floral fruity: The floral notes are diversified and the amber notes are strong but balanced by fruity notes such as prune, apricot, raspberry or strawberry natural extracts or isolates.
