Lydeen Amberfume — an Oriental fragrance with character
Lydeen Amberfume is an eau de parfum from the Swedish brand Lydeen, released in 2024.
This unisex fragrance is for those who appreciate expressive compositions with a spicy opening, resinous depth and a warm amber mood.
In olfactory terms, the release combines Oriental and fougère facets, sounding rich, composed and multifaceted at once.
Amberfume was created by Christine Lydeen and Niclas Lydeen.
For Lydeen, it is a characteristic study in contrasts: green and spicy nuances meet floral tones before gradually transitioning into a dense woody-balsamic base.
As a result, the fragrance does not strive to please instantly—it unfolds gradually and is particularly intriguing on the skin.
The fragrance’s character and development
At first, Lydeen Amberfume smells bright and unusual: bitter-herbal absinthe is supported by cardamom, davana and star anise.
Ylang-ylang adds a soft white-floral roundness to the opening, keeping the spicy accord from becoming sharp.
The first minutes already create the impression of a complex, rich perfume with a distinctive personality.
In the heart of the composition, elemi, mimosa and rose appear. The resinous, spicy elemi combines the floral transparency of mimosa with the more classical character of rose, creating an elegant transition to the base.
Gradually, the fragrance becomes warmer, deeper and darker while retaining a lively interplay of nuances.
The final stage is built around benzoin, labdanum, incense and fir resin.
Patchouli, vetiver and cypriol add a dry woody-earthy facet, tobacco makes the scent more velvety, and vanilla softens its resinous richness.
Amberfume has a very powerful sillage: give the fragrance time to develop and avoid overwhelming the space with it.
Who Amberfume is for and when to wear it
Lydeen Amberfume is presented as unisex, although its balance may vary on different skin.
On men’s skin, tobacco-woody and resinous nuances may be especially pronounced, while on women’s skin, floral, spicy and vanilla facets may stand out more.
The composition’s main strength is its lack of rigid gender associations and its distinctive authorial character.
Thanks to its high longevity and very powerful sillage, this eau de parfum unfolds best in cool weather, in the evening, on a walk, at a meeting or on a special occasion.
For the office or a small room, use the minimum amount.
Exact recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not available, so it is sensible to start with one spray and assess the fragrance’s development after 15–20 minutes.
Impression and similar fragrances
Amberfume will appeal to those looking not for a light everyday companion, but for a noticeable perfume with a rich base and striking presence.
It can be considered by fans of Oriental, fougère, woody and balsamic compositions in which spice meets flowers, resins and gourmand warmth.
For further exploration, consider The Spirit of Dubai Turath, as well as The Spirit of Dubai Fakhama and Nimerè Parfums Marquise.
At the same time, Lydeen Amberfume retains its own identity: it is distinguished by an absinthe-and-anise opening, an expressive resinous heart and a deep base with tobacco, incense, vanilla and woody accents.
