Ambre Royal

Ambre Royal by Atkinsons 1799 is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with ylang-ylang and magnolia, moves into amber, labdanum and frankincense and dries down to vetiver and sandalwood. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
• Magnolia Lemony white floral. Bright and clean rather than heavy.

Heart

• Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
• Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
• Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.

Dry-down

• Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
• Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
