It all began with a Chinese snuff bottle, an exquisite artifact composed of fine amber, that fired up Atkinsons’ imagination. It was the start of one of Atkinsons most successful launces of the XX century, Ambre Chinois, one of the first Oriental fragrances introduced to the Western world in 1927. Ambre Royal brings the much-loved “Essence edition of 1929 to its apotheosis. Renowned as one of the finest perfumers of his era, Maurice Roucel crafted Ambre Royal by blending three accords that capture the captivating allure and mystique of amber. Nectar Accord. The Nectar Accord envisions the hallowed essence of amber as the nectar of the gods, blending the narcotic, intoxicating allure of ylang-ylang with the transparent embrace of magnolia. Incadescent Accord. To recreate the incandescence of amber, Maurice Roucel selected the exclusive Ambre De Laire 84, originally crafted by Georges De Laire at the beginning of the 20th century. This highly sensual and ambery note features the powerful captive Ambrostar, illuminated by a mouth-watering toffee accord and a voluptuous blend of precious natural woods. The accord seduces with its meditative depth, where cistus labdanum embraces the revered olibanum oil. Transcendence Accord. A luxurious blend of sensual woods creates an unforgettable sillage. A leathery, smoky nuance emerges from the Vetiver Oil of Madagascar, intertwining with the creamy, dry woodiness of Sandalwood Album Oil, enveloping you in an aura of timeless elegance.
