Amber & Roses in detail
Amber & Roses brings together two materials that oriental perfumery readily combines, amber and rose. Mancera, the house founded by Pierre Montale, files it among its ambers and presents it as unisex, with imagery taken from the Arabian Nights.
The very short official pyramid opens with Sicilian lemon, alone at the top, which briefly brightens the composition. The heart unites a full rose with a rich, warm, resinous amber. The base pairs Mediterranean labdanum, with its leathery, honeyed facets, and white musk, which softens the whole.
Amber & Roses is an evening scent for autumn and winter, for those who want an enveloping rather than a fresh rose. Its very short pyramid makes it a simple, direct scent, centred on its two materials.
Three ambers in our catalogue come close: Erba Pura Magica by Sospiro shares lemon, amber and musk; Gold Woman by Amouage finds rose and musk again; Honey Oud by Floris pairs rose, amber, labdanum and musk.
