Moroccan Amber

Spice is the dominant theme of Moroccan Amber, a 2019 masculine fragrance from Alfred Dunhill, with gourmand, woody, ambery and leathery facets underneath.

The opening is a market stall of spices: ginger, cardamom and black pepper bring a warm, peppery and slightly citrusy heat. In the heart, saffron adds a rich, leathery spice, hazelnut a toasted, nutty sweetness, and immortelle a honeyed, slightly herbal warmth that can recall maple or hay. The base turns darker and smoother, with leather giving a supple, smoky texture, agarwood a resinous wood, coffee tree a roasted, slightly bitter note and amber a warm, glowing finish.

The overall character is rich and enveloping, suited to autumn and winter, evenings and dressier occasions. It should appeal to men who like spiced ambers with a leathery, nutty depth, and who want something warmer and more textured than a fresh everyday scent.
