7 Best Amber Scented Perfumes for Women

Amber is a very popular ingredient to add to fragrance compositions. It can be found in literally thousands of scents. However, it doesn’t always get to be the main focus of a perfume, and comes in mostly in a supporting role. In this post, I want to highlight some of the best ladies’ fragrance options, in which amber is a major player/the main attraction.

What are the Best Smelling Amber Fragrances for Women?

Herbal Spice and Warm Amber

Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan Eau De Parfum Spray for Women, 50 Ml– If warm amber-y fragrance are your thing, then, Ambre Sultan by Serge Lutens is an affordable choice versus some of the higher end specialty scents out there.

It has enough spice to make it stand out, mostly of the herbal variety, with a smooth resinous amber note. Great. I really enjoyed the smoky aspect of this fragrance and it had staying power in the 7-8 hour range, when I tested it out.  Ambre Sultan Review

Sweet Creamy Amber

Hermes L’Ambre Des Merveilles for Women Eau De Parfum Spray, 3.3 Ounce– A very underrated and not too well known entry from the Hermes lineup. L’Ambre Des Merveilles, takes the popular caramel and citrus blend found in many other best selling ladies’ fragrances, and just does it better. It starts off with that beautiful caramel note and what smells like orange, with floral undertones.

To my nose, I detected a really nice peach note, which takes over the orange and plays off of the salty caramel. This is wrapped up in a creamy vanilla and surrounded by the warmth of amber. L’Ambre isn’t super heavy, rather, it is softer and airy.

The aroma will hit the wearer throughout the day in bursts. This Hermes scent is quite versatile and can be worn at the office while being attractive enough for date nights. Full L’Ambre Des Merveilles Review

Michael Kors Daily Wear

Michael Kors Sexy Amber Eau De Parfum Spray, 3.4 Ounce– As the name suggests, the main note is amber which is combined with white floral and sandalwood. Sexy Amber is a warm perfume that is quite seductive and alluring, with a powdery finish.

Sandalwood is the main attraction, as it wears on, but enough jasmine peaks through to make things interesting. A fairly linear fragrance, overall, but one that smells really good within that simplicity. Less of a niche scent, fairly affordable, and beautiful wear.

Prada Amber and Patchouli

PRADA AMBER For Women By PRADA Eau De Parfum Spray 2.7 Oz– I’m not that big of a fan of the men’s version of Prada Amber, as I feel it’s not enough amber, and way too floral/clean. However, the women’s edition of this name is really great. Plenty of sweetness, patchouli (which gives this one more of a gourmand feeling), and a superb amber ingredient.

Smooth, spicy, clean, with some deliciously edible aspects. At times, it is smooth and sweet, with vanilla and honey. Next, it is warm and spicy, with floral and green aromas. Quite resinous and warm, not a scent for everybody, but can be amazing for amber lovers.

The Best Dior Option

Dune By Christian Dior For Women. Eau De Toilette Spray 3.4 Ounces
A lovely and elegant scent dating back to the early 1990s from Christian Dior. It is fresh, sensual, and great for the warmer months. Dune is dry and woody with sandalwood, rosewood, and amber being the main highlights. There are spiced notes and undertones of vanilla, which keep it sweet.

This is amber within a more cooperative setting, but man, is it nice. Dune is a very smooth and a pretty low key scent. This one could be a unisex fragrance in reality, with its woody tones, and serves as a great change of pace from the usual popular fare.

Sweet and Spicy

Histoires de Parfums Ambre 114 Eau De Parfum Spray, 2 Fl Oz– Ambre 114 kicks off with some earthy spiciness courtesy of nutmeg and patchouli. Then, hints of vanilla and tonka bean float just underneath the surface.

Amber is utterly perfect, in the heart of this fragrance, stuck between the spicier elements and the sweet creaminess. Well-blended and a very nice performer.

Popular Blend with Amber

Thierry Mugler Alien Refillable Eau de Parfum Spray, 3 Ounce– Another mainstream fragrance option, with a very nice amber note, playing a major part. Alien is an interesting fragrance for women, as the name itself suggests, there is something exotic. foreign, or even other worldly about this scent.

Floral and woody notes blend together and top it off with a kick of spice. It’s sweet and loud and a perfume that really shines in the wintertime. Alien is led by jasmine as the floral, surrounded by warm amber, and with a woody base.

This fragrance lets itself be known, can overwhelm some, but others swear by its power and cannot do without this Mugler creation.

Best Men's Colognes

Best Men’s Colognes started back in 2013, as a way to share my learning experiences with different fragrances, as I dove head first into the hobby. Since then, I have written hundreds of reviews and other pages about perfumes and colognes.
