This perfume category, also known as amber fragrances, has been around for about 100 years. It all started with the launch of Guerlain\u2019s Shalimar EDP in 1921, which is widely recognized as the world\u2019s first oriental perfume. The decadent fragrance was an instant bestseller with an alluring blend of vanilla and tonka bean.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout the years, oriental perfumes have seen many iterations, but this ever-evolving category always features the same core aromas. The signature oriental accord is created with notes like vanilla, tonka bean, patchouli, sandalwood, and spices. Oriental perfumes also feature alluring resins, which include frankincense, myrrh, benzoin, and labdanum \u2014 a resin from the rockrose flower. The oriental accord can take on many different characteristics, and oriental aromas are often mixed with notes from other fragrance families like florals and citrus, creating mesmerizing results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More and more, oriental perfumes are referred to as amber perfumes in modern perfumery, but amber remains a fantasy note. The beautiful amber resin symbolizes the bright yellow glow that is associated with the fragrance category, but it has no aroma. When \u201camber\u201d is mentioned as a note in a fragrance, it mostly refers to the amber accord. The aroma of amber is sometimes confused with ambergris, a note used in oriental perfumes, but it is not the actual amber accord. Ambergris has an earthy, musky aroma and was originally derived from the excretion of whales. Today, you\u2019ll mostly see this unique aroma used in its synthetic forms, like ambrox or <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ambroxide#:~:text=Ambroxide%2C%20widely%20known%20by%20the,notes%20and%20as%20a%20fixative.\">ambroxan<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best way to familiarise yourself with oriental perfumes is to explore the iconic fragrances in the category. These are the legendary perfumes that made oriental scents so covetable. We\u2019ll also discover new, modern amber perfumes that have become bestsellers in their own right.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Iconic oriental perfumes&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Explore the timeless oriental perfumes that started the obsession with this fragrance category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1.
