Amber
Amber opens on a familiar Roja overture — lavender, orange, bergamot — before collapsing into what the name promises: a textbook ambery base.
The scent fingerprint
Weighted by intensity across 11 accords.
Every perfume in Sillage is represented as a distribution across canonical accord slugs — a lingua franca for scent. Two fragrances with overlapping fingerprints are scent-twins, even if they share no literal note.

By the editors · 2 min readAmber opens on a familiar Roja overture — lavender, orange, bergamot — before collapsing into what the name promises: a textbook ambery base.
The heart is a single May rose, almost vestigial, more a structural marker than a developed accord. The composition is built almost entirely on its drydown: tonka and vanilla over labdanum and benzoin, with cocoa adding a faintly bitter chocolate edge, ambergris softening the resins, and patchouli grounding the whole. Sandalwood threads through.
A traditional warm-amber composition — sweet, resinous, cocoa-tinged — built around a conventional amber accord rather than reinventing it. Heavy, long-wearing, comfort-fragrance territory for cold weather.
