The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018 by Clive Christian, Amber Absolute Oil is a fragrance that embodies the brand's tradition of luxury and refinement. Created by perfumer Beverley Bayne, this Oriental Spicy scent opens with a fresh spicy kick from ginger and cinnamon before transitioning into the heart notes of rose and olibanum. The base layers of amber, styrax, papyrus, musk, and vanilla create an enveloping warmth that feels both comforting and luxurious.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points and allow it a moment to settle before layering. The top notes are bright but fleeting, so a few minutes can help them integrate into the heart and base for a more cohesive experience. Best worn in cooler weather when the warm spices and musk feel most inviting.
