Blonde Amber
Blonde Amber opens with cardamom and bergamot warming the orange blossom before the tuberose arrives in the heart, and here Clive Christian's material quality becomes immediately apparent: this is not a safe, diffusive tuberose but one that has the waxy, slightly narcotic quality the flower actually possesses. Jasmine and ylang-ylang build the floral density further before amber and benzoin pull everything into a warm, resinous base that sandalwood extends with genuine creaminess. Rich, unapologetic, built for rooms that can hold the volume.
Why We Carry This
Clive Christian's willingness to use tuberose at full material quality rather than as a diluted accord is what distinguishes Blonde Amber. The benzoin-amber base has the kind of warmth that develops over hours of wear rather than flattening within the first hour. For clients who want a floral that commits.
