Amberwood

A spice, lavender and licorice bomb at extract-level concentration. A little goes a very long way.

A polished woody-aromatic. The elegant all-rounder that works from the office to dinner.

Golden amber of labdanum, benzoin and vanilla: Kurkdjian's bottled sunset, warm without being gourmand.

Oud, raspberry and incense at monument scale: luxury smoke you can smell from across the street.

Sicilian citrus over fruit and white musk: the Italian niche that fills a whole room with expensive-clean.

The most imitated sweet-woody of the last decade: saffron, jasmine and a luminous amber that signs itself on skin.

Toffee, lavender and vanilla at EDP volume: one of the highest compliment-per-euro fragrances around.

Candied pear over lavender and black vanilla: the night flanker that turned the sailor into a club animal.

Sweet fruit over white musk: Erba Pura's documented budget twin, with whole-room projection.

Saffron, raspberry, leather and oud: the documented budget take on the Ombre Nomade profile.

Apple, cinnamon and vanilla for the night: the Arab take on the 1 Million profile, sweeter and at basics pricing.

Rose over oud and vanilla: the budget rose-oud that put the genre within any budget's reach.

The sweet-spicy leather that defined the 2010s men's night out; still works, though half the bar wears it.
