Amber fragrances

Warm, golden, resinous. The glow in most "expensive-smelling" scents.

What they smell like

Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
Copaiba Balsam A soft, woody Amazonian resin. Smooth, slightly peppery and long-lasting.
Copal A bright, lemony tree resin burned as incense in Mexico. Lighter than frankincense.
Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
Gurjun Balsam A woody resin from Southeast Asia. Smooth, faintly peppery, and it helps a scent last.
Immortelle Maple syrup, curry and hay. Genuinely strange and very distinctive.
Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
Moxalone A clean, dry amber molecule. Warmth without the sweetness.
Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
Opoponax Sweet myrrh. Balsamic, warm and slightly medicinal.
Orcanox A modern ambergris molecule. Salty, woody and very long-lasting on skin.
Peru Balsam Vanilla and cinnamon resin. Deep and syrupy.
Styrax Smoky, leathery balsam. Slightly rubbery and dark.
Tolu Balsam Warm, sweet, slightly cinnamon resin. Rich and rounded.
