woody amber perfume

The term "amber" in perfumery is an umbrella catch-all term that encompasses many varieties of materials, including woody and resinous notes. It can refer to a range of scents from musky and sultry to sweet and cozy, with aromas of toffee, caramel, or vanilla. Woody ambers are a type of aroma compound that has been increasingly used in perfumery. They can have a soft and comfortable scent compared to other compounds. One example of a fragrance built around woody-powdery notes is Amber Wood by Ajmal, which is composed of juicy fruit, spices, and woody-powdery notes of orris and cedar wood, leading to a warm heart of amber wood and patchouli. One of the aroma chemicals used to accent the top, middle, and dry down notes in fragrances is Norlimbanol, which has a dry woody note in the patchouli direction. The amber accord in perfumery typically consists of labdanum, vanillin, and often benzoin, plus accent materials such as spices, woods, musks, and resins. Grey amber, or ambergris, is a substance produced by sperm whales and has a resinous, sweet odor. Fossilized amber is ancient tree sap that has a sweet, spicy, and woody scent. Amberwood is a synthetic aromachemical that imitates the scents of amber and wood, often containing Ambroxan, which has a woody-ambery smell
