Amber
7.1Marc Jacobs · 2006
Floral · Sweet · Gourmand
Marc Jacobs Amber is a feminine perfume with a floral, sweet core wrapped in spice and woody tones, with a clear gourmand side; it has been discontinued.
Ginger and star anise give the opening a spicy warmth, while Chinese cassia and lily add a soft floral heart. As it dries, tonka bean, benzoin, cashmeran and ambergris come forward, settling into a powdery, sweet, oriental feel.
Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and use is spread fairly evenly across daily, leisure and business wear. Most see it as feminine. Givenchy Ange ou Démon (Eau de Parfum) and Amouroud Silk Route have a close profile.
