Amber Perfumes

Amber is warmth as a fragrance: golden resins, soft vanilla and spice blended into the glow that defines Gulf evening wear. These six MOJ compositions cover the family from smooth and sweet to dry and resinous.

The amber profile

Classic amber is an accord rather than an ingredient, traditionally built from labdanum, benzoin and vanilla, then dressed with spice, florals or woods depending on the direction. The sweeter takes wear like cashmere, comfortable and close, while drier resinous ambers lean formal and traditional. Both flourish in the UAE's cooler months and in air conditioning year round, though summer daytime asks for restraint with this family.

Where amber fits your wardrobe

Think of amber as the bridge between fresh daytime scents and full oud perfumes: warmer and more present than the former, more approachable than the latter. It is the natural second bottle for someone whose first was a clean musk or fresh scent, and the family most likely to earn compliments at evening gatherings without anyone needing to ask what you are wearing twice.
