Coty has launched Ambre Antique, a new limited edition fragrance in the Infiniment Coty Paris collection.

In 1905, Ambre Antique Parfum revolutionized perfumery and defined the modern olfactory family of amber fragrances.​

120 years later, INFINIMENT COTY PARIS revives this creation in a tribute that remains true to the spirit and formula of the original. ​

[...] An opulent vanilla balm, where the freshness of bergamot meets the richness of floral absolutes, sublimated by the unique signature of Ambréine S.

Recreated around the legendary Ambréine S base, born by an unexpected overdose of vanillin on a bed of bergamot, AMBRE ANTIQUE unveils a vibrant blend of rarest absolutes: rose, jasmine, and orange blossom. Ambergris and tonkin musk accords enrich its base with warmth, comfort, and elegant signature.

As for the modern version’s formulation, Coty’s technical perfume director Dominique Vernaz says the update remains remarkably faithful to the original. “With today’s constraints, it wasn’t difficult to recreate,” he explains. “In fact, we only had to replace animal-derived ingredients. Otherwise, the structure stayed true.” The recreated Ambre Antique even includes a reconstruction of Ambréine S, a fragrance note exclusive to Coty and first used by the company in 1905.

Additional notes for the ambery floral​​ include rose, jasmine, iris and orange blossom. 

Infiniment Coty Paris Ambre Antique is available in 75 ml (20% concentration). 1905 numbered bottles were made, $420.
