Each ingredient equally contributes to the power and sensuality of a composition. They bring gourmand notes, softness and warmth to any fragrance, while their fascination and mystery inspires the entire world of perfumery.
The Amber fragrance family offers of large spectrum of notes and sensations, from Floral Ambers, Soft Ambers, Ambers, to Woody Ambers and Woods. Each one evokes a specific sensation that can be velvety, sweet, warm, dry, or even animalic at times, just to name a few.
