More about Guerlain Ambre Samar
Ambre Samar by Guerlain is a 2025 unisex amber fragrance, crafted with Guerlain's two centuries of artistry as a modern ode to nature's contrasts. The top notes are almond, cardamom and frankincense: it opens with the smoky glow of frankincense and the gentle heat of cardamom. The heart notes are davana and a sumptuous, golden amber. The base notes of benzoin, patchouli and creamy tonka bean wrap it up softly. Mysterious yet inviting, Guerlain Ambre Samar balances shadow and radiance with quiet confidence. It feels like walking beneath a crimson moon, where warm light cuts through the cool night air in a faraway desert. Winter leads its seasons by a wide margin, then fall, and night and evening are its times. An enveloping resinous amber, it suits cold evenings and special nights out.
