The house

Al Ambra perfumes from Dubai

Al Ambra is a Dubai perfume house that develops and produces its scents in-house. Its extraits de parfum lean on Middle Eastern perfumery and modern scent design, with oil-rich textures and a smooth drydown meant for warm climates. The line also includes Eau de Parfum, perfume oils and bakhoor incense.

The range here runs from the clean, skin-close Dubai Musk, built on musk, magnolia and sandalwood, to Loren, a sweet gourmand leather with berries, apricot and patchouli, and Ravenna, a bright citrus and spice composition finished with black tea and ambroxan.

A Dubai house with its own workshop

Al Ambra was established in Dubai in 2016 and trades as Al Ambra Perfumes. The name joins ‘Al’, which the house links to the Arabic tradition of oud, incense and oils, with ‘Ambra’, amber and its warmth. Development and production take place in-house at Dubai Investment Park, and the brand names no outside perfumer.

Extraits made for warm weather

The house describes its scents as oriental, woody, amber and extrait compositions, drawing on Middle Eastern perfumery and modern scent design and made with warm climates in mind: a smooth drydown and oil-rich textures. Most perfumes come as Extrait de Parfum in 50 ml, next to an Eau de Parfum line, perfume oils and bakhoor incense.

Where to start

Dubai Musk is the quiet entry: bergamot and black currant, magnolia and sandalwood, resting on musk, written as a clean skin scent. Loren goes the other way, with candy, berries, soft leather, apricot and patchouli. Ravenna brings lemon, pineapple and mango to ginger, cinnamon and Tunisian neroli, then settles on black tea, guaiac wood and ambroxan.
