Among the latest amber releases, Ambre Papier from Atelier Materi stands out as a true masterpiece of warmth and refinement. Crafted by Celine Perdriel, the nose behind the house’s acclaimed Rose Ardoise and Cuir Nilam, this extrait de parfum offers a unique take on amber—one that is both comforting and elegantly restrained.
Ambre Papier
What makes Ambre Papier truly captivating is its higher oil concentration, which allows it to stay closer to the skin while providing impressive longevity. This is a fragrance designed for those who appreciate intimacy in scent, where warmth and depth unfold gradually rather than demanding attention with excessive projection.
From the first spray, a subtle sweetness emerges, thanks to the interplay of Red Mandarin and Tonka Bean. However, Ambre Papier never leans into cloying territory. The Jasmine heart note adds a soft floral touch, elevating the composition and lending it a graceful air. At its core, Benzoin reigns supreme, enveloping the wearer in its resinous embrace while expertly blending with a mélange of spices—black Pepper and Pimento provide an intriguing contrast, adding both warmth and complexity.
As the fragrance evolves, Myrrh introduces its signature vanilla-like sweetness, seamlessly complementing the Saffron’s subtle but distinct presence. This interplay results in a scent that is opulent yet never overwhelming, striking a careful balance between spice, resin, and floral elements.
While Ambre Papier is undoubtedly one of Atelier Materi’s most compelling offerings, those curious about Perdriel’s other creations should also explore Néroli Hasbaya and Burgundy Oud. Each carries her signature touch of refinement, yet Ambre Papier may just be the most intriguing of them all.
