Atkinsons 1799 Amber Empire 100ml EDT

Sprinkling an exciting snippet of history on one's character is the height of perfume snobbery. Atkinsons beautifully reinvents the masterpieces of its tradition into contemporary fragrances. Amber Empire is an extremely oriental fragrance that transports you on a deeply sensual journey to the languid and enigmatic expanses of the Far East. It all began with a Chinese snuff box, an exquisite Asian Art Deco objet d'art that fueled Atkinsons imagination. Amber Empire became one of the first oriental fragrances introduced to the Western world in 1927 and, at the time, was a fascinating and foreign scent, "as mysterious and refined as the timeless Orient." However, the 21st-century Amber Empire eau de toilette, created by perfumer Maurice Roucel, is not so much exotic as cosmopolitan, contemporary and devilishly sensual. Sculpted from a precious amber accord, Amber Empire is a melancholy and atmospheric fragrance, steamy and lingering, an oriental nouveau fragrance that combines the old world with the new. A fresh, citrusy top note of bergamot joins Chinese magnolia and oolong tea before giving way to a base of vanilla, myrrh, ambroxine, and musk. The oolong tea, so prized in Chinese tea rituals, possesses a distinctive delicate floral and earthy note and, in conjunction with a surprisingly pure concentration of white musk (70 percent), extracts the amber notes into a fascinating floral and deeply vaporous aura. This peculiar construction gives Amber Empire an ambivalent sensuality, as rich as amber and as light as steam rising from tea.
