L'Eau d'Ambre in detail
L'Artisan Parfumeur, founded in Paris in 1976 by Jean Laporte, is one of the pioneers of niche perfumery. L'Eau d'Ambre is the house's historic amber, signed by its founder: a soft, resinous amber presented as an eau de toilette, more luminous than heavy.
The house lists its notes without sorting them into stages. Amber is its subject, warm and golden. Benzoin and labdanum, two resins, give it its balsamic depth. Patchouli brings a woody, earthy touch, and tonka bean a softness with hints of almond and hay.
L'Eau d'Ambre is worn in autumn and winter, by day or by night: at the office on a cold day, at a dinner, or for a quiet evening.
Three amber fragrances in our catalogue share its materials: Ambre 114 by Histoires de Parfums brings together patchouli, amber, tonka bean and benzoin, with spices; Odéon by Memo Paris pairs patchouli, tonka bean and amber around a rose; Red Tobacco by Mancera finds patchouli and amber again, with tobacco.
