This pack will help you to make sense of the term "amber" in perfumery and smell different interpretations: from oriental resinous mixes to ambergris accords (replicating the smell of the whales' guts metabolite cured in salty water) and finally ambroxan and compounds that came after it.
All of these themes can be referred to as "amber" and there are common nuances that unite them (and cause confusion) but also there are noticable differences.

All about this fragrance
Making sense of amber pack’s concept
This pack was curated to clarify the different meanings of amber in perfumery, rather than present it as a single note. The selection brings resinous compositions, ambergris accords and an Ambroxan-led woody citrus into conversation, with neighbouring patchouli and fig textures providing further points of comparison. Its guiding idea is simple: smelling these interpretations side by side makes both their shared nuances and their differences easier to recognise.
