Embers

Embers is a warm, smoky-woody accord in perfumery that captures the hypnotic scent of glowing coals and smoldering wood—a balance of heat, ash, and soft sweetness. It evokes the atmosphere of a fire’s dying glow: crackling wood, glowing amber, and traces of smoke drifting through cool night air. The scent is both comforting and mysterious, blending burnt woods, smoky resins, and balsamic warmth with a subtle hint of charred spice or incense. Used primarily as a base note, Embers imparts depth, sensuality, and a lingering warmth to oriental, woody, and leathery compositions.

History & Production: The Embers accord is a crafted olfactory illusion rather than a natural extract, composed from smoky materials such as birch tar, guaiac wood, cade oil, and myrrh, layered with amber, vanilla, and dry woods to replicate the scent of glowing ash and heat-softened resin. This accord rose to prominence in modern niche perfumery, where it became a symbol of intimate warmth and meditative stillness. When paired with leather, incense, or vetiver, Embers creates an evocative duality—fire and quiet, destruction and renewal—a lingering whisper of warmth that feels both elemental and deeply human.
