Rive d Ambre

A crisp autumn morning in an urban loft, where the sun's first rays warm the room just enough to bring out a comforting scent of amber and spices.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2013, Rive d’Ambre by Tom Ford is an Oriental fragrance crafted by perfumer Olivier Gillotin. This composition opens with a bright citrus note that cuts through the aromatic and fresh spicy accords, creating a dynamic tension between freshness and warmth. The base of amber and warm spices settles into a cozy embrace, making this scent both inviting and sophisticated.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance lightly at first — it blooms quickly into its full warmth. The citrus notes fade within an hour but allow the base of amber and spices to shine through the rest of the day.
