Ottoman Amber is a dark, resinous woody fragrance from the Italian house The Merchant of Venice, released in 2015. Wood is what everyone notices; most also describe it as sweet and resinous, and a third pick up a floral and a citrus side.
Bergamot and plum open it, bright and then jammy, with geranium adding a green, rosy sharpness. The heart is a straightforward pair of patchouli and sandalwood: earthy and creamy, dense without being heavy. The base is where the name earns its keep, with myrrh and labdanum providing a warm, balsamic, slightly smoky resin, agarwood a dark woody depth and vanilla a smooth sweetness that ties it together.
It is marketed as masculine and is clearly a scent for cold weather and evenings, for someone who likes rich ambers with a proper woody backbone rather than a sugary one.
