The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1995 by Jo Malone London, Amber & Lavender was crafted by perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour to marry the fresh aromatic energy of lavender with the warm and enveloping quality of amber. The composition opens with a bright burst of bergamot and mint, punctuated by the sharp freshness of clove and cinnamon. This vibrant opening gives way to a heart of lavender and lily-of-the-valley, creating a serene yet engaging middle ground. As it settles into its base notes of patchouli and myrrh, Amber & Lavender transforms into an enveloping and comforting presence.

How to wear it

Apply a light mist to your pulse points and allow it to settle for a few minutes. The fresh spicy top notes will fade within an hour, but the base of amber and patchouli ensures that the scent remains close to your skin throughout the day.

Bertrand Duchaufour

The world traveler's nose

Bertrand Duchaufour is a perfumer-adventurer whose creations read like a travelogue of the senses. Trained at Roure (now Givaudan), his work draws deeply from his journeys through Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and sub-Saharan Africa.

“The art of perfumery must be at the same time, innovative, harmonius, and “sent bon”.”
