Bold. Intense. Passionate. Mysterious yet warm and familiar, Neon Amber gives traditional notes a new twist – a compelling choice for sophisticated and adventurous culture lovers.
Neon Amber opens with bright mandarin and pink pepper, dominated by tonka absolute and enhanced by dry cedar leaf. In the base note, new-gen perfumer Jérôme Di Marino has modernised resinous rockrose with fresh, mineral ambroxan to create a warm and mysterious scent.
The perfumer's intention
This fragrance is the second that new-gen perfumer Jérôme Di Marino has created for Molton Brown. It began as a very personal project, as a fragrance from his favourite fragrance family that he wanted to wear himself. Always on the lookout for new interpretations of classic notes, Jérôme has reinvented one of the industry's most famous accords – Amber 83.
Amber 83 was created in 1889 by the legendary perfume house De Laire and became a benchmark for oriental fragrances. Since 2015, Jérôme had been thinking about revisiting this traditional structure and has introduced new ingredients to this exciting, unprecedented creation.
"I wanted to revive the oriental fragrance family and create something very unusual and unexpected. This fragrance is a daring reinvention of the iconic Amber 83 accord. I replaced vanilla with tonka bean, which is very rich and sensual and has an opulent creaminess; I see it as the new vanilla. I also modernised resinous cistus with fresh, mineral ambroxan. Captivating and bold; a fragrance for those who are not afraid to play with fire." — Jérôme Di Marino, perfumer
