Making sense of amber pack

This pack will help you to make sense of the term "amber" in perfumery and smell different interpretations: from oriental resinous mixes to ambergris accords (replicating the smell of the whales' guts metabolite cured in salty water) and finally ambroxan and compounds that came after it.

All of these themes can be referred to as "amber" and there are common nuances that unite them (and cause confusion) but also there are noticable differences.

The pack contains 9 x 1 ml samples:

1. PG8.1 L’Ombre Fauve by Pierre Guillaume - Parfumerie GénéraleLabdanum heavy oriental amber
