Oriental Eau de Parfum for Men and Women · black pepper, mandarin, rose, jasmine, cashmere wood, patchouli, amber, cedar, and vanilla
A rose nestled at the heart of a woody oriental fragrance: pepper and mandarin on top, a floral heart anchored by cashmere wood, and four base notes that lend it its warmth.
Amber 01 by Swiss Arabian: an oriental fragrance created by Nanako Ogi
Created by Swiss Arabian, a UAE-based brand manufactured in Sharjah, Amber 01 is an oriental unisex eau de parfum launched in 2021, available in a 50 ml size and listed under barcode 6295124036781. Its fragrance profile features nine notes: black pepper and mandarin on top, rose, jasmine, and cashmere wood in the heart, and patchouli, amber, cedar, and vanilla on the base. Its main accords are, in order, woody, amber, rose, fresh spicy, and patchouli. The fragrance was created by perfumer Nanako Ogi, who works at Givaudan. Fragrantica rates its longevity at 7 hours and its sillage as strong, with a profile best suited for evening wear. Available as an authentic product at Parfumerie de Dubai.
A Rose in Amber
The opening consists of two elements that do not naturally go together. The black pepper offers a sharp, tangy, almost gritty flavor—that of freshly ground grain. The mandarin provides a counterpoint with its sweetness and the roundness of the bark. It is this interplay that creates the harmony fresh and spicy, ranked fourth in the community's list, which prevents an Oriental from getting off to a slow start.
The heart places a rose in the center, accompanied by jasmine and, above all, of cashmere wood. The latter is not a wood in the botanical sense but a synthetic accord—velvety and musky—designed to envelop the flowers without overwhelming them. Its role is to prevent the rose from seeming too classic, which explains why the rose accord appears in third place without ever dominating the composition.
The background features four materials, and that’s where the name comes from: the patchouli earthy, the’amber coniferous, the cedar dry and the vanilla. Woody notes take center stage, ahead of amber, which clearly defines the fragrance: a robust oriental rather than a sweet amber scent. The community, in fact, classifies it as a night rather than the time of day, and the cold seasons.
The composition is signed Nanako Ogi, a perfumer currently working at Givaudan, who has created about 50 fragrances for brands as diverse as Lattafa, Fragrance Du Bois, and The Merchant of Venice. In the store, her other fragrances are listed on the page Nanako Ogi, which makes it possible to track a signature rather than a brand.

Bottle design
The bottle is a rectangular glass block, simple and rich, with all its flavor coming from the juice: a translucent amber-red, dense, which captures light like resin. The name AMBER 01 and the SWISS ARABIAN signature are printed in clear letters on the front, without any ornamentation.
The contrast comes from the carved stopper, made of metal rose gold, crafted in openwork scrolls that evoke roses in relief. It is the only decorative element on the object, and it serves as a link to the flower at the center of the composition.

Performance and Portability
These ratings are based on votes from the Fragrantica community and not on laboratory measurements. A woody oriental with a strong sillage is applied sparingly: two sprays Apply to the wrists and the base of the neck. Its evening vibe and its suitability for colder seasons make it a fragrance better suited for dinner and a night out than for the office. On a scarf or the collar of a coat, patchouli and amber last significantly longer than on the skin.
Swiss Arabian's Amber 01 FAQ
Why is an Emirati company called Swiss Arabian?
The name combines two deliberate references: Swiss precision on one hand, and Arabian materials on the other. It says nothing about the place of manufacture, which is clearly indicated on the case: Made in the U.A.E., in Sharjah, one of the seven emirates. This type of hybrid name is common in the region, where companies borrow from European vocabulary to signal a high standard of industrial excellence.
Who is Nanako Ogi?
She is currently a perfumer at Givaudan, one of the world’s largest fragrance houses, following a stint at Manheimer Fragrances. Fragrantica credits her with nearly fifty fragrances, created for brands as diverse as Swiss Arabian, Lattafa, Fragrance Du Bois, The Merchant of Venice, and Ojar. It’s still rare enough to be worth noting when a brand from the Gulf credits its perfumer.
What is cashmere wood?
Despite its name, it is not an essence derived from a tree. Cashmere wood is a synthetic accord, created to evoke a soft, velvety, and slightly musky woody scent, much like the wool of the same name. It is used to add softness to a composition without adding sweetness, and that is precisely its role here: to envelop the rose and jasmine, preventing them from seeming too conventional.
Why is there a number in the name "Amber 01"?
This is a convention borrowed from niche perfumery, where a fragrance is identified by its main ingredient followed by a number—more like a laboratory reference than an evocative name. The promise is one of simplicity: it’s all about amber and nothing else. In reality, the fragrance profile goes far beyond that, since the woody notes even take precedence over amber in the ranking of the accords.
What does the Emirates Quality Mark on the case mean?
This is a mark of conformity issued by the United Arab Emirates’ standardization authority. It certifies that a product and its manufacturing facility meet verified requirements. The same packaging also features ISO 9001 certification for quality management, ISO 22716 for good manufacturing practices in cosmetics, ISO 14001 for environmental management, and ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety. These are useful indicators in a market where counterfeiting exists.
