Warm amber wrapped around dry cedar and patchouli.

Amber Wood opens bright – crisp apple, a lick of white pepper, lavender and cardamom – then settles into the part everyone remembers: soft orris and cedarwood over a deep amber and patchouli base. It reads expensive without shouting, and it works as well on a cold evening out as it does under a jacket at the office.

The notes

• Top: apple, white pepper, lavender, cardamom
• Heart: orris, cedarwood
• Base: amber, wood, patchouli

Why people repurchase it

• Eau de parfum strength – it stays with you through the day and into the evening.
• Genuinely unisex – warm and spicy rather than sweet, so it suits everyone.
• A full 100 ml bottle – months of daily wear, not a travel size.
• Made in Dubai by a house with nearly six decades of perfumery behind it.

How to wear it

Spray onto clean, slightly damp skin at the pulse points: wrists, inner elbows, the base of the neck and behind the ears. Do not rub your wrists together – it crushes the top notes. Two or three sprays is plenty.
