Dry Amber

Dry amber is a sophisticated and warm fragrance note known for its resinous, woody, and slightly powdery scent profile. Unlike sweet amber, dry amber carries a subtle, more restrained character with hints of balsamic and leathery undertones. It evokes a sense of warmth, elegance, and depth, making it a popular choice as a base note in perfumes. Dry amber blends seamlessly with woods, spices, and resins, adding complexity and a long-lasting, grounding quality to fragrances.

History & Production: The term "amber" in perfumery often refers to a blend of resins and aromatic compounds that mimic the scent of natural ambergris, which was historically sourced from sperm whales. Dry amber, however, is typically created using synthetic ingredients and natural resins like labdanum and benzoin. These components are combined to replicate the warm, resinous scent associated with amber, but with a drier, less sweet character. The use of dry amber has become a staple in modern perfumery, adding a rich, sophisticated foundation to both contemporary and classic fragrances.
