Amber Perfumes

Buy amber perfume online in the UAE

Amber perfume is warm, glowing and comforting – the kind of fragrance that seems to radiate from the skin like late-afternoon sunlight. It is one of the foundations of oriental and Arabic perfumery, and it appears, in one form or another, in a huge share of the fragrances people love most in the UAE. At 11:11, a UAE perfume brand that sells only online, this collection brings together every fragrance in our range where amber is a key note – amber woods, amber leather, amber vanilla, saffron amber, floral amber and fresh citrus amber.

Each amber perfume is a 50ml eau de parfum with up to 30% perfume oil, designed to be long-lasting. Every 50ml perfume is AED 75 (was AED 99), delivery is free across the UAE within 2 business days, and you can pay by cash on delivery, card, Tabby or Tamara. Our Golden Guarantee means that if you don't love your perfume, you can return it. If you would like to compare amber with other fragrance families before choosing, browse our full perfume online UAE range.

Amber is also one of the most varied notes in perfumery. Two amber perfumes can smell completely different – one bright and citrusy, the other dark and resinous – so shopping online, where you can read the full notes of each fragrance at your own pace, is often the best way to find your favourite.

Amber perfume for men, women and unisex

Amber is naturally unisex, and most of our amber perfumes can be worn by anyone. That said, there are clear favourites on each side. People searching for an amber perfume for men often want amber paired with woods, cedar, cinnamon, citrus or leather – warm and confident without being too sweet. These suit evenings, events and the cooler months, and many of them sit in our men's perfumes.

Those looking for an amber perfume for women usually love amber blended with vanilla, orange blossom, jasmine, tuberose or neroli. These floral ambers feel radiant, sensual and elegant, perfect for weddings and evenings. Explore our women's perfumes for more.

And if you like to share fragrance with your partner, our unisex perfumes include many balanced ambers that sit beautifully on any skin.

What amber smells like and how it pairs with other notes

In perfumery, amber is not the fossilised tree resin used in jewellery. It is an accord – a blend of materials that together create a warm, golden effect. Classic amber accords are built from labdanum (a sticky resin from the rockrose shrub), benzoin, vanilla and other balsams. The result smells warm, sweet, slightly powdery and resinous, with a soft, enveloping glow. Amber almost always sits in the base of a perfume, where it adds depth and helps the fragrance last.

Amber is one of the most generous notes to pair. With oud it becomes dark, majestic and Arabic. With saffron it turns rich and luxurious, a much-loved combination in the Gulf. With vanilla and tonka it becomes creamy and gourmand. With leather it feels polished and confident. With woods such as cedar and sandalwood it becomes dry and elegant, and with incense it gains a calm, smoky depth. Fresh citrus on top of amber creates a bright-to-warm effect that works surprisingly well in the daytime.

You may also see the terms white amber and ambergris. White amber is a lighter, cleaner amber accord, while ambergris is a different, salty-marine material – both are related to amber in name but smell quite different.

Amber perfume for everyday and special occasions

Fresh, citrus-led ambers and light amber woods are easy to wear by day and work well in air-conditioned offices. Apply one spray and enjoy the warmth that builds slowly through the day.

Rich amber is made for the evening. Its glow feels intimate and luxurious, which makes it a top choice for dinners, events and date nights – browse our evening and date night perfumes. Floral ambers and saffron ambers are also wonderful for weddings and celebrations; see our wedding and bridal perfumes. And when the weather cools, resinous ambers come into their own, so they feature heavily in our winter perfumes.

Amber perfume price and value.

At 11:11 every 50ml amber eau de parfum is AED 75 (was AED 99), with free delivery and four ways to pay, so you can build a small wardrobe of ambers – a fresh one for day and a rich one for night – without overspending.

Amber perfume notes explained

Every fragrance is built in three layers. Top notes create the first impression – in amber perfumes these are often citrus such as bergamot and mandarin, spices such as saffron and cardamom, or fruits. Heart notes appear after a few minutes and set the mood: florals such as jasmine, rose and orange blossom, or warm notes such as leather, incense and cinnamon. Base notes remain the longest, and this is where amber lives, alongside vanilla, tonka bean, musk, sandalwood, cedar and patchouli. Reading the top and heart notes tells you whether an amber perfume will feel fresh, floral, spicy or smoky.

How to choose and wear amber perfume

Choose your amber. Citrus amber for daytime; floral amber for elegance; vanilla amber for sweetness; leather or incense amber for depth; saffron or oud amber for Arabic luxury.

EDP vs EDT. Eau de parfum contains more perfume oil than eau de toilette, so amber feels fuller and stays longer. All our amber perfumes are EDP.

How to make amber last. Apply to moisturised skin on pulse points and lightly to clothing, and don't rub. Read our guide on how to make perfume last longer.

Layer it. Amber is a great base for layering: wear it under a rose or oud perfume for extra warmth, or under a fresh citrus for a golden finish.
