Amber is a blend of ingredients that describes a warm, powdery, sweet scent used to create oriental fragrances that convey a rich, spicy and powdery feel. It is a "fantasy" perfumery note, consisting of a blend of natural and synthetic ingredients such as vanilla, patchouli, labdanum, styrax, benzoin, and a few more. The term "Amber" comes from the Arabic "Ambar" or French "Ambre" relating to Ambergris, a waxy substance found in the intestines of the sperm whale, which is no longer used in perfumery for obvious reasons. However, it has inspired a very special synthetic ingredient called "Ambroxan," which is very common and extremely popular. Labdanum absolute is a plant-based resin that carries ambery notes and is more commonly used in perfumery.
