    REF: 198770

    AMBER GENESIS® is a luxurious neo-gourmand fragrance base masterfully composed by renowned perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, exclusively for Fraterworks. Inspired by the timeless allure of classical amber bases reimagined through a contemporary lens, this fragrance invites you into a decadent world where temptation becomes tangible. Rich labdanum, velvety vanilla, and opulent rum intertwine elegantly, offering a modern interpretation of the globally coveted amber profile—an olfactory overture to refined indulgence.

    Top notes: Rum, Caramel, Red Fruit
    Heart notes: Lily of the Valley, Egyptian Geranium
    Base notes: Vanilla Bean, Vetiver, Patchouli, Tonka Bean, Labdanum

    Scent Profile

    AMBER GENESIS® opens with a provocative introduction of lush dark rum, splashed upon ripe red fruits draped in silken caramel. At its heart, the soft purity of lily of the valley elegantly complements Egyptian geranium, delivering refined floral clarity. Gradually, the fragrance transitions into a sumptuous base, harmonising sweet vanilla bean, deep vetiver, earthy patchouli, comforting tonka bean, and resinous labdanum. The result is a fragrance of captivating warmth, embodying an irresistible, sophisticated temptation.

    Perfumery Usage

    AMBER GENESIS® is meticulously formulated to deliver exceptional longevity, depth, and complexity, ideal both as a foundational base and as a sophisticated enhancer within modern fragrance compositions. Its versatile neo-gourmand character blends effortlessly with complementary gourmand ingredients, luxurious resins, aromatic woods, and rich vanillas—providing perfumers expansive creative possibilities.

    Process

    AMBER GENESIS® is expertly crafted from a carefully curated palette of premium natural extracts and specialised aroma molecules. This sophisticated blend exemplifies Fraterworks’ unwavering commitment to quality and scent artistry, realised through the visionary collaboration between Creative Director Jamie Frater and master perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour.

    Background

    AMBER GENESIS® is one part of the sumptuous Glutton Triptych, a trio of innovative gourmand amber bases created by Bertrand Duchaufour exclusively for Fraterworks. Celebrated for iconic creations like Amouage Jubilation XXV, Timbuktu by L'Artisan Parfumeur, and Comme des Garçons Series 3 Incense: Avignon, Duchaufour’s expertise brings a unique, modern interpretation to the amber accord, introducing it directly to perfumers and fragrance enthusiasts alike. Each blend within the triptych—AMBER GENESIS®, Amber Crave®, and Amber Flux®—represents a distinct exploration of indulgence, establishing a new benchmark in contemporary fragrance artistry.

    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.

    IFRA Standards

    Permitted amounts in finished product:

    IFRA 51: 43%

    These are derived from calculated concentrations which do not replace chromatographic quantification on individual lots. Disclaimer...
