Ambre Samar by Guerlain opens warm and gently smoky, spiced from the first minute. Frankincense and cardamom open it warm, with almond taking the sharper edges off. Amber and davana carry the heart, honeyed rather than sugary. The base is tonka bean, patchouli and benzoin, rounded by a soft vanilla warmth that reads balsamic more than sweet. It launched in 2025 and is worn by men and women who want an amber that stays aromatic instead of turning into dessert. Voters keep it for winter, mostly after dark, and it holds up well through a day at work too. The community rates its longevity as long-lasting without much debate, and sillage as moderate. Start with a 3ml decant through a few cold nights before you decide whether the bottle earns a place on your shelf.

The house
More from Guerlain
Guerlain dates back to 1828, when Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain began making scents in France, and the house has been polishing one warm, powdery signature ever since. Vanilla, iris and tonka bean run through the range, brightened by bergamot and settled on sandalwood. Start with Shalimar Eau de Parfum: sparkling citrus that sinks slowly into amber and vanilla. Mon Guerlain wraps lavender in a soft vanilla haze, while La Petite Robe Noire is dark cherry with a sugared edge. For something lighter, Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic is fresh and green. Thierry Wasser and Delphine Jelk are among the perfumers credited on the range here.
