Amber

Amber fragrances glow. Think warm amber accords of labdanum and benzoin, wrapped in vanilla and soft musk. We have 35, worn by women, men and unisex wearers alike. A bright top of bergamot or lemon usually opens them before the amber takes over and stays close to the skin for hours.

They suit cooler months and evenings, and anyone who likes a scent that feels like candlelight rather than fresh air. Sorrento and Positano are worth trying first. Bottles are 70 ml, from £34.90, with free UK delivery on every order and 14 days to return anything unopened.
