by Burberry
Amber Heath by Burberry, crafted by Francis Kurkdjian, unfolds as a deeply opulent and refined amber fragrance distinguished by a rich, balsamic backbone and a distinct earthy patchouli presence. The scent balances warmth and sophistication with a smoky, slightly animalic ambergris core that gives it a penetrating yet elegant depth. It shares strong visual and aromatic affinities with Grand Soir but diverges with a more masculine, woody character due to its pronounced patchouli and labdanum notes. The fragrance feels natural and organic—like cave moss and ancient resin—never overly sweet or synthetic. It projects strongly, lingers well beyond a full day, particularly when applied to fabric, and emits a warm, intimate sillage that is both impressive and well suited to night-time wear. A few commenters note an unexpected herbal or rosemary-like nuance in lower concentrations, but this is rare. Overall, the fragrance stands as one of Burberry’s most luxurious offerings, especially for those drawn to layered amber compositions with a powerful, enduring presence.
