Smoky Amber

Smoky Amber by the Qatari house Al-Jazeera Perfumes, composed by Nathalie Lorson and released in 2025, is worn by anyone. Wearers describe it first as gourmand, about half also find it floral, and musky, resinous, amber and citrus facets are each noticed by a quarter. The name promises smoke; the notes deliver chocolate with incense behind it.

The notes are listed without a pyramid. Bergamot and pear suggest a bright, juicy start. Chocolate and dark chocolate give the scent its gourmand core, rich and slightly bitter rather than milky. Incense and myrrh supply the smoky, resinous side, dry and church-like against the sweetness. Gardenia adds a creamy white-floral note, orris root a cool, powdery softness, and vanilla and musk smooth everything into a warm, skin-like drydown.

With chocolate, resins and vanilla doing most of the work, its notes point to a scent for cold weather and evenings, and for someone who likes gourmands with a darker, smokier edge rather than straightforward sweetness.
