How to choose a perfume with amber

To choose an amber perfume, distinguish the actual listed terms: amber, ambergris or amber wood. Then compare the surrounding flowers, spices and woods. These labels are neither an ingredient inventory nor a measure of strength.

Prices and availability observed in the catalogue on . Check current values on the product page before ordering.

Keep amber labels distinct

VIP Red lists Gray Amber and Amber Wood, while other pages list Amber or Ambre. Record the distinctions without treating them as proof of origin. You may look for amber in the base while preferring a citrus opening to a spicy one.
