Amber is a popular genre of perfumery that encompasses a variety of materials, including ambergris, labdanum resin, and synthetic versions, often supplemented by other elements such as benzoin resin, vanilla, and tonka. It is known for its warm, powdery, and sweet scent, and is used to create oriental fragrances that convey a rich, spicy, and powdery feel
. One example of an amber fragrance formula for both women and men includes top notes of incense and olibanum, heart notes of sandalwood and patchouli, and base notes of amber and vanilla
. Amber oil is also available as a healthier alternative to synthetic perfumes, as it is a concentrated perfume oil blend with no added filler oils or alcohol, and is used sparingly to achieve an all-day fragrance
