Sparks of high voltage amber blaze in the cityscape; a riot of neon light and darkness. Resinous fumes vibrate; a bold overdose of indulgent tonka charged with filaments of mineral ambroxan. Mysterious yet warmly familiar, where future imagination defies the past. Reinvent your rules; play with fire.
Audacious. Intense. Passionate.
A rich, dark Eau de Parfum, ablaze with sparkling bergamot, amber, and fresh mineral ambroxan in the base for a warm, mysterious base. In this exciting fragrance, New Gen Perfumer Jérôme Di Marino added an overdose of tonka absolute for a sensuous, creamy and complex heart.
Jérôme Di Marino, New Generation Perfumer
A rising star destined to shape the future of fragrance, Jérôme believes that experience is not measured in years but from cultural immersion. His true passion is reinvention: “I like to work with traditional patterns, but I always give them a modern twist.”
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.”
