About the fragrance Ambery by Layer+

Ambery Eau de Parfum Enhancer by Layer+ is a mysterious fragrance. It is sensual and warm. The orange blossom gives it a fresh and floral character. The glow of the Golden Hour, that beautiful moment when the sun wraps your skin in a warm glow - that's Ambery.

Ambery was developed by DSM-Firmenich, where the captive Dreamwood® is at the heart of this composition.

Layering with Ambery: tips from Perfume Educator Daan

"Ambery instantly adds warmth and sensuality to a fragrance," says Perfume Educator Daan. "It envelops, softens and leaves a trail that stays close to the skin."

Ambery instantly adds more warmth and sensuality to a fragrance. This layer transforms any combination into a weapon of seduction.

At the same time, it remains balanced. Refined enough to wear solo, powerful enough to combine.

These are the perfumes he says Ambery pairs well with:

D.S. & DURGA - Jazmin Yucatan Eau de Parfum.
With Ambery, Jazmin Yucatan gains more depth. The jasmine remains light and tropical, but feels softer and more enveloping because of the warm underlay. The contrast makes the fragrance more sultry without being heavy.

Parfums de Marly - Valaya Exclusif Eau de Parfum
Valaya takes on a different tension with Ambery. The fresh, clean character remains present, but becomes warmer and more intimate. "Like it gets closer to the skin," says Daan.

MATIERE PREMIERE - Cologne Cédrat Eau de Parfum
With Ambery, Cologne Cédrat gains more balance. The citrus remains bright, but is softened by a warm undertone. "Fresh, but with a soft depth you keep experiencing," says Daan.
