Amber is a fragrance note appearing in 3468 perfumes in this directory, built from 34 related materials catalogued here.
Amber smells warm, sweet and softly resinous, like honeyed golden warmth with a hint of powder and vanilla. It is an accord rather than a single material, usually built from labdanum, vanilla and balsamic resins, so it feels rounded, enveloping and slightly smoky or spicy depending on the blend. Its comforting, glowing character makes it a favorite base note, giving fragrances depth, sensuality and a long, cozy dry down that lingers on skin and fabric.
