Amber

Amber is fossilized resin, popular as jewelry due to its beautiful golden color. It is not uncommon for perfumers to claim that their perfume contains amber, which in English is "Amber" (not to be confused with ambergris).

However, it is extremely rare for perfumes today to actually contain real amber, as it is very expensive to extract oils from the fossil. The actual fragrance note "amber" is instead an accord based on a combination of benzoin (a sweet resin from the styrax tree), vanilla, and labdanum.

Nowadays, the international term "Amber" is increasingly seen in Swedish as well, as it evokes the warm sensation and the golden hue of amber. The scent is often described as somewhat creamy and musky, with a sweetness that works as a softer, warmer complement to vanilla but with a spicier, more aromatic, and burnt nuance.
