Scent Profile — What You'll Experience
Top Notes
Bergamot
Heart Notes
Cinnamon
Base Notes
Benzoin · Cedarwood · Labdanum · Tonka Bean · Vanilla
It begins with a crystalline bergamot top note that lifts the skin with gentle luminosity, setting a composed and welcoming opening. The initial brightness is clean and approachable, inviting you in with understated refinement rather than bold proclamation.
The middle notes reveal a warm, spiced cinnamon heart that transforms the composition into something deeply creamy and intimate. Here, the fragrance settles into its true character—quietly commanding, with a soft floral depth that speaks of sophistication and restraint. This heart is where the fragrance truly breathes, unfolding gradually across the skin with a moderate composed projection that feels both present and respectful.
The base anchors everything in a sumptuous blend of vanilla, benzoin, labdanum, and cedar tonka bean—notes that wrap around the wearer like cashmere. Sillage remains noticeable yet refined, lasting 6–8 hours through warmer months and beyond. This is a fragrance built to linger without imposing, versatile across seasons yet truly alive in heat.
Performance & Wear
Kensington Amber delivers 6–8 hours of elegant wear on skin with noticeable projection that carries beautifully throughout your day. Apply to pulse points for optimal diffusion, and layer with the Body Oil to significantly extend longevity. Perfect for autumn and cooler seasons.
