How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance
Musk
Musk, once sourced from the musk deer and now often recreated synthetically, offers an earthy, slightly sweet aroma reminiscent of skin. Its versatility allows it to blend seamlessly into various fragrance families, from oriental to woody, enhancing their depth without overpowering them.
Cedar
Cedar, sourced from various species of coniferous trees, exudes a deep, resinous aroma with hints of sweetness and wood smoke. Its scent is both comforting and grounding, reminiscent of old libraries or the quiet solitude of a forest. This versatile note has long been favored for its ability to blend seamlessly into complex compositions without overpowering other ingredients.
Guaiac Wood
Guaiac Wood is harvested from the Guaiac tree native to South America. Its scent is intense and smoky with a hint of sweetness, reminiscent of campfire embers mingled with earthy undertones. This rich aroma makes it a cornerstone for creating deep, complex fragrances.

Fragrances that pair well with A'mmare
Salt Mint, Star Anise
A'mmare's salt and mint bring a marine coolness that Bergamoto's star anise and orange warm back up, with bergamot and cedar shared between both to keep the transition smooth. The result moves from a briny, herbal opening into a sweeter citrus-spice finish.
Spray A'mmare first for the salty, aquatic base, then layer Bergamoto on top so the citrus and star anise brighten the drydown.
