What are the notes of an oriental/amber fragrance?
With their warm, enveloping scents, amber perfumes, also known as “orientals”, are particularly appreciated during the cold season. To get autumn off to a good start, discover all the secrets of these bewitching fragrances.
What is an amber fragrance?
The term “amber” or “oriental” designates one of the great olfactory families of perfumery. It includes fragrances with warm, heady and sensual notes.
Among the most emblematic ingredients in amber fragrances are vanilla, tonka bean, patchouli, resins such as benzoin, incense and opoponax. In the last century, these exotic ingredients from faraway lands earned the perfumes that used them the name “oriental”. Today, the term “amber” is more widely used.
