The story behind the bottle.
Ambre Samar by Guerlain, launched in 2025 and crafted by perfumer Delphine Jelk, is an Oriental Spicy fragrance that balances warmth with aromatic complexity. The composition opens with cardamom and frankincense, creating a spicy yet fresh tension before settling into the rich, enveloping notes of amber, benzoin, and tonka bean. This blend evokes a sense of opulent comfort, reminiscent of walking into an indulgent apothecary filled with rare and luxurious ingredients.
Apply one or two sprays to pulse points for a warm embrace that builds over time. The aromatic top notes fade within an hour, but the rich base notes will keep you enveloped throughout the day.
