🌙 20. A Scented Letter: Ambre Samar – Spices, Honeyed Amber & Moonlight

Crafted by Guerlain perfumer Delphine Jelk, Ambre Samar is a vibrant composition where almond and frankincense swirl with cardamom, while amber, tonka, and patchouli ground the musky shimmer of Guerlain’s own ambergris tincture.

Ambre Samar is not a quiet amber. It’s a warm, flickering trail of light in the dark—a spicy, honeyed amber illuminated by a red moon. It opens with a sparkling lift—almost a fizzy, golden concoction of almond, frankincense, and cardamom—before melting into honeyed amber, tonka, and patchouli. There’s a mineral shimmer underneath that adds a sparkling lift and elegance. The 10ml Gold Travel Spray makes a beautiful gift.

It’s rich but not heavy, and wears like a warm glow on the skin. It’s an amber that shimmers and dances—its fizzy nature feels like the bubbles suspended in liquid heat in the image below. Photo: 'Cut and Paste' by Fanette Guilloud

🪔 The Experience of Ambre Samar
Amber lit by red moonlight.
Spices sparkle, warm and bright.
Fizzy warmth in the dark.

Try this:
Apply to pulse points before dusk or when you crave warmth.
Let the scent unfold—like moonlight softening into skin.
