Ambre Noir by Sonoma Scent Studio is a Oriental fragrance for women and men. Ambre Noir was launched in 2008. The nose behind this fragrance is Laurie Erickson. The fragrance features Amber, French labdanum, Rose, Myrhh, Castoreum, Olibanum, Sandalwood, Vetyver, Oakmoss and Virginia Cedar. \"Dusky labdanum is at the heart of this rich and sultry scent, with cedar and sandalwood in the base and subtle deep rose weaving between the woods. I like labdanum and I wanted Ambre Noir to highlight it. Working with labdanum resin is a delight to the senses: it\'s a thick golden resin with a wonderful musky, woodsy, amber scent and is beautiful after it is diluted with alcohol and filtered. I held the vanilla in Ambre Noir to a minimum and added interest and complexity to the labdanum with incense, moss, leather, and woods. I wanted the darkest, richest, smoothest woodsy amber with incense and a hint of leather.\" (Laurie Erickson) The composition includes: labdanum absolute, amber, rose, olibanum, myrrh, vetiver codistilled with mitti (clay), oakmoss absolute, aged Indian patchouli, texas cedarwood, sandalwood, castoreum.
