Scent Profile
AMBER CRAVE® unfurls with a luscious, irresistible blend of golden honey and sensuous liquorice, enriched by davana’s uniquely fruity, aromatic touch. At its sumptuous heart, beeswax imparts a warm, enveloping texture, harmoniously paired with delicate lily of the valley, romantic rose, and the ripe sweetness of peach. Anchored in a decadent base, AMBER CRAVE® rests on a bed of resinous myrrh, smoky patchouli, rich benzoin, creamy vanilla, luxurious tonka bean, and the subtle allure of ambergris, crafting a scent that embodies the moment when urgency turns into necessity.
Perfumery Usage
AMBER CRAVE® is expertly crafted to deliver remarkable intensity, warmth, and complexity, making it perfect as an enticing standalone fragrance base or as a sophisticated note within diverse fragrance compositions. Its rich, yet universally appealing gourmand character is designed to blend seamlessly with oriental ambers, luscious fruit accords, and luxurious florals, allowing perfumers to create unforgettable signature scents embraced by all consumers.
Process
AMBER CRAVE® is crafted through meticulous blending of premium natural essences and advanced aroma molecules. This carefully constructed formula exemplifies Fraterworks’ commitment to excellence in perfumery, realised through the artistic collaboration between Creative Director Jamie Frater and master perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour.
Background

General Information
General Information
Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.
All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.
