Sweet Amber

Sweet Amber by Lalique, a 2018 fragrance for women composed by Philippe Romano, is chiefly floral, with gentler spicy and gourmand sides. The name promises warmth, and the notes deliver it through white flowers and vanilla.

Anise gives the opening a soft, liquorice-like spice that sets it apart from typical florals. The heart centres on jasmine, tuberose and orange blossom, a creamy, heady trio of white flowers with a honeyed glow. Vanilla softens and sweetens the base, while galaxolide, a clean musk, gives the drydown a smooth, freshly washed feel close to the skin.

This is a warm, gentle floral that feels comforting rather than loud. It suits evenings, cooler months and moments when you want something soft and sweet but still clearly floral, and it is easy enough to wear to work as well. It will appeal to anyone who enjoys white flowers with a creamy vanilla finish and a quiet touch of spice.
