How it behaves in a formula
Across this library, Ambrette appears 0 times as a top note, 2 times in the heart and 1 time in the base. Placement is the single best predictor of what you will actually smell: top-note materials are high-volatility and gone within the hour, base-note materials are fixatives that define the final and longest phase of the wear.
Compositions containing Ambrette in this library average 8.3 hours of documented longevity, and skew toward spring and summer wear. Treat that as a tendency of the woody family rather than a property of the material alone — dose, supporting accord and concentration all move the result.
Fragrances built with Ambrette
Diptyque
Fleur de Peau
Floral Aldehyde · Unisex
Created to celebrate the myth of Psyche and Eros, Diptyque's Fleur de Peau is the ultimate modern 'skin scent'. Formulated around a massive overdose of powdery ambrette seed and elegant iris, the fragrance opens with a sparkling touch of pink pepper and aldehydes. The heart melts into the skin like warm, suede-like musk with subtle earthy carrot nuances. It is a deeply sensual, comforting, and understated masterpiece that smells like the natural scent of skin elevated to high art.
Tom Ford
Neroli Portofino
Citrus Aromatic · Unisex
Formulated by Rodrigo Flores-Roux in 2011, Neroli Portofino captures the cool breezes, sparkling clear waters, and lush foliage of the Italian Riviera. The fragrance opens with a vibrant, invigorating splash of crisp citrus notes including bergamot, lemon, and mandarin orange, spiked with aromatic rosemary and lavender. The heart blooms into a lush, clean bouquet of rich neroli and orange blossom. The base settles into a soft, smooth trail of amber and ambrette. It is the epitome of effortless Mediterranean summer luxury and timeless coastal elegance.
Le Labo
Another 13
Amber Woody · Unisex
Developed by Nathalie Lorson in collaboration with AnOther magazine, Another 13 is a hypnotic and elusive composition built around a heavy load of synthetic animalic musk, ambroxan, and crisp pear. The fragrance opens with an unusual, clean metallic-fruity sharpness before melting seamlessly into the skin like a second nature. It creates an addictive, clean, and slightly hypnotic aura that smells uniquely personal to whoever wears it.
