By reinterpreting the spirit of historical Amber fragrances, Prada has revived the art of traditional perfumery. This timeless essence is rooted in the rediscovery and reinterpretation of precious ingredients that were once cherished and revered.
Sandalwood oil from India is referred to in 4000 year old Sanskrit and Chinese manuscripts. This oil distilled from the heartwood and roots of Evergreens possesses a rich enveloping aura with a kind of deepness that is soft, rich and woody. Through its purity it brings fluidity to the Amber note.
Patchouli leaves from Indonesia are a compelling and timeless material of the highest quality. A transformation takes place when dry leaves are distilled into a pure rich oil summoning a warm solar quality. Sensual and provocative, it radiates a warm solar quality. Sensual and provocative, it radiates a type of vibrancy that is appealing and addictive.
Labdanum resin from France is derived from a Mediterranean plant of the Cistus Species and has an Amber aspect scarcely found in the vegetable world. Each drop is smooth, warm and seductive… a resin is rare and so precious.
Benzoin from Siam comes from the inner part of a South East Asian tree and is a substance used in the ancient incense formulas from Sumatra. The material is obtained by making precise incisions to the bark at the exact harvesting age of the tree’s life. Its aroma comforting and reminiscent of deep vanilla captivates with its profound character.
