Since the late 19th century, the AMBER accord in perfumery has marked a significant milestone, leading to remarkable successes and achievements in the realm of oriental fragrances. Throughout this period, numerous modern compositions have emerged. Yet, it is the classic amber fragrances that continue to reign supreme, receiving widespread acclaim. Among these, Ambra by Omnia Profumi, a creation of the esteemed Italian niche perfume house, Omnia Profumi, stands out.
In today's post, we shine a spotlight on this iconic yet often overshadowed amber masterpiece, deserving of profound appreciation. This perfume, a quintessential oriental fragrance, was conceived by the fertile imagination of the in-house perfumer of Omnia Profumi, Fabrizio Tagliacarne, in 2014. The fragrance boasts an intricate blend, starting with top notes of sweet orange peel, geranium, and bergamot peel. This is followed by a heart layer of incense, lavender, and patchouli, and culminates in a base layer of amber accord, labdanum resin, opoponax resin, and vanilla absolute.
The initial encounter with Ambra reveals a rich, ancient amber accord, accentuated by spicy and citrusy nuances reminiscent of traditional orange clove pomander balls that boost the vibe of winter with an inviting, delightful, and penetrating aura once opposed to a heat source. The core of the fragrance showcases a harmonious trio: a vanilla-infused amber accord, labdanum resin, and the sharp opoponax gum, lending a dark, intriguingly mysterious aura that evokes tales of the Roman Empire and Byzantine power games.
There's a subtle smoky essence within the composition's amber accord quality, setting it apart from Serge Lutens' trendsetting Ambre Sultan. While Lutens’ landmark creation leans towards a more angular, spicy, and North African character, Ambra captivates with its smoky, resinous, and subtly sweet notes of opoponax.
Style-wise, Omnia Profumi Ambra is an ideal match for autumn and winter attire. It transcends sporty or formal categorizations, embodying the olfactory equivalent of a rugged lumberjack style or the ambiance of a jazz café, where sipping whiskey complements the fragrance's cozy, comforting dry down.
