Amber is one of those ingredients that is different in each type of fragrance. Unlike "Jasmine" or "Rose" where you can identify the scent, "amber" is different in each fragrance. I dislike most amber themed fragrances, but New York Amber is one of my all time favorite scents, so go figure...

Two of the best still remain, in my opinion, Ambre Sultan and Prada Amber.

My favorite Amber fragrances are:

Armani Prive - Ambre Orient
Tom Ford - Amber Absolute
Bond No. 9 - New York Amber
Histoiries de Parfumes - Ambre 114
SL - Ambre Sultan
D&G - The One
Profumi del Forte - Versilia Vintage Ambra Mediterranea


There are a lot of other good ones, but these are my favorites.

Thanks for all the responses. I've tried Ambre Sultan and Ambre Russ. I've also sampled Atelier's Ambre Nue which is lovely.

Does anyone know anyone who has Ambra Mediterrenea that might be able to send me a sample? This sounds exactly what I'm after: amber with some woodiness to it.

...Ambre Précieux...!

I really like Ambre Precieux and Ambre 114. They're similar, but AP is a little louder, spicier, and more opulent. A114 is subtler and less dense. Both are excellent.

Amber Oud, Ambre Sultan, Ambre 114 and Ambre Precieux. I have been wanting to get my nose on New York Amber by Bond no.9.

TF Amber Absolute is very good, and very sweet. A little goes a long way. It lasts on my skin all day and projects very strong.

I agree. All I get is soap.

For the OP, give Amber Oud from by Kilian a try.

Ambre Sultan has the true amber in it. It is real. It is The Sultan.
