About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Ambre Impérial (2015) is a unisex oriental spicy fragrance from Van Cleef & Arpels, built around a heart of amber, vanilla, tonka bean, and benzoin. With no listed top or base notes, the composition focuses entirely on this rich, resinous core. The main accords—amber (100%), vanilla (81%), sweet (49%), woody (49%), soft spicy (47%), and warm spicy (46%)—paint a picture of a dense, sweet, and warmly spiced scent that leans gourmand without being edible.

Collectors who appreciate deep, resinous ambers will find this a satisfying wear, especially in cooler months. The vanilla and tonka add a creamy sweetness, while benzoin contributes a balsamic, almost incense-like warmth. It suits those who enjoy unisex orientals that sit close to the skin but project with quiet intensity. Ideal for evening wear or formal occasions, Ambre Impérial is a comforting yet sophisticated choice for anyone seeking a modern take on a classic amber theme.

中文簡介

琥珀帝國(2015)係 Van Cleef & Arpels 出品嘅中性東方辛辣香水,核心香調由琥珀、雲呢拿、零陵香豆同安息香組成,冇列明前調同基調,所以香氣集中喺呢個濃郁樹脂基底。主要調性包括琥珀(100%)、雲呢拿(81%)、甜(49%)、木質(49%)、柔和辛辣(47%)同溫暖辛辣(46%),營造出甜而不膩、帶暖辣感嘅深度。

呢支香水適合鍾意濃厚琥珀同樹脂感嘅收藏家,喺秋冬季節著用尤其出色。雲呢拿同零陵香豆帶嚟忌廉般嘅甜潤,安息香則添加咗一抹巴爾薩木同近乎焚香嘅暖意。佢適合追求中性東方調、鍾意貼膚但散發低調強度嘅人。夜晚場合或正式聚會都用得著,係一款現代經典琥珀主題嘅舒適之選。

Before you buy

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
