Best Amber Perfumes that Work All-Year Round
Amber perfumes doesn’t care about seasons. It’s one of those notes that shows up differently depending on how you wear it, and that’s what makes it interesting. It’s warm, yes, but it doesn’t always have to be heavy. It can feel grounding without being sleepy, soft without being sweet, and bold without being aggressive.
Basically, amber’s the kind of note that meets you where you are.
It plays well with others, too: woods, florals, spices, and citrus. So whether you’re layering for cold weather or keeping it minimal in the summer, it fits. The right amber scent doesn’t feel like a trend. It feels like part of you.
The following are perfumes from Hayati New York that are anything but basic and definitely wearable all year.
For When You Want to Show Up Without Showing Off: Amor Oud (Unisex)
Amor Oud has a range. It’s warm and rich thanks to the amber and oud, but there’s a lift from saffron and sweetness that keeps it from feeling dense. It doesn’t announce itself, but people will notice.
This is a fragrance you wear when you want to feel a little more put together, like when you don’t have time to plan your outfit but still want to feel intentional. It’s elegant, not overly feminine, and works just as well at brunch as it does at a dinner you’re nervous about.
It leans fall/winter in feel, but it’s not season-locked. It works in spring too, especially if you tend to gravitate toward deeper, woodier scents year-round.
Not Rugged, Just Real: Sahara Desert Oud (Men’s)
Sahara Desert Oud isn’t your usual “wilderness” scent. It is earthy and smoky, sure, but it’s not trying to smell like firewood and pinecones. The amber softens it, and there’s a kind of grounded calm that makes it feel personal, not performative.
If you’re someone who usually avoids bold fragrances because they feel fake or too much, this might change your mind. It’s deeply and inherently masculine. Great for colder days, but it surprisingly holds up when the weather turns warm, especially in the evenings.
Wear it when you're tired of trying too hard but still want to make an impression.
For Main Character Moments: 1 Million Oud (Men's)
1 Million Oud doesn’t hold back. It’s strong, spicy, and leans into its amber notes in a big way. But there’s a little sweetness tucked in that keeps it from feeling too harsh. It smells expensive, full stop.
This is the fragrance you reach for when you need to shift your energy. Maybe you’ve got a night out. Maybe you’ve got a big meeting. Maybe you’re just having one of those days where you need a reminder that you still know who you are.
It’s unapologetic, but not overwhelming. You can absolutely wear it outside in fall and winter if you like bold scents.
