Cafe Ambre Noir

Cafe Ambre Noir by Sultan Pasha Attars is a deeply layered gourmand fragrance centered around coffee, with a rich, warm backbone of amber, vanilla, cacao, and dark oud. It opens with a bold, almost overwhelming coffee and rum burst, evoking a decadent coffee liqueur or a sweetened espresso. The early moments are boozy and sweet, with a hint of honeyed depth and subtle nutty undertones—notably hazelnut—that emerge subtly between the layers. The heart blends spiced woods, tea rose, hyacinth, and tobacco, adding complexity without sacrificing the gourmand core. The drydown is a slow-burning, warm embrace of ambery vanilla, castoreum, labdanum, and aged patchouli, where a tactile, slightly animalic depth lingers, enhanced by beeswax and salty ambergris. It feels architectural and dark—like a nocturnal smoke and honeyed caramel—ideal for cold seasons and evening wear. The performance is consistently long, with a moderate to strong sillage that clings subtly but never invasively.
