Ambery Perfumes: resinous warmth of amber, benzoin and vanilla

What is an ambery perfume?

The ambery family is a key sub-family of orientals, historically distinct in haute parfumerie. It brings together perfumes whose dominant accord is built around ambergris, benzoin, labdanum, opoponax, vanilla and ambery resins. This family enables the most magnetic and enveloping trails in contemporary perfumery, with creations like Ambre Sultan (Serge Lutens, 1993) or Ambre Imperial (Perris Monte Carlo) that have crossed the decades.

Iconic ambery creations at Soleil d'Or

At Soleil d'Or, you can explore this family across the catalogue, including notable signatures at Serge Lutens Collection Noire, Houbigant Les Ambres, Perris Monte Carlo Black Collection and Profumum Roma.

When to wear it, and for whom?

Ambery perfumes shine particularly in autumn and winter, when the cool air enhances the depth of resins. Mostly unisex, the family suits enveloping and persistent trails, ideal for evening wear and intimate moments. A magnetic and assumed sensuality.
