The Scent Profile

Top Note: Bitter Orange
The scent opens with a flash of citrus, bitter orange: bright, zesty, and dry. It offers just enough sparkle to cut through the deeper notes beneath, acting like a sunbeam glancing off warm stone.

Heart Note: Labdanum
At the heart lies labdanum, an ancient resin known for its leathery, amber-rich depth. Here, it’s plush and slightly smoky, like sun-warmed resin with a comforting weight. This note brings a quiet intensity and earthy roundness.

Base Note: Amber
In the base, amber glows with richness and softness. Creamy, warm, and lightly spiced, it’s the signature finish that lingers on skin long after the top notes fade — rich without ever becoming cloying.

Who Is This For?

Amber & Labdanum is for those who appreciate elegance with depth, resinous, amber-based fragrances that feel both timeless and contemporary. It leans unisex, though perhaps tilting slightly warm and sensual. Perfect for the colder months, evening wear, or moments when you want your scent to feel grounding, golden, and quietly magnetic.
