The Rebirth of an Olfactory Legend: Infiniment Coty Paris Ambre Antique
François Coty introduced Ambre Antique in 1905. Infiniment Coty Paris marked the fragrance’s 120th anniversary in 2025 with a new limited edition: a contemporary return to an early amber perfume.
The house describes the new perfume around Ambréine S and vanilla balm, with bergamot, iris, jasmine, rose and orange blossom. These are the brand’s published olfactory notes, rather than independent evidence that the modern perfume duplicates every material in the original formula.
On the skin, Ambre Antique Parfum behaves like an antique silk gown blowing in a warm breeze—opulent, heavy with history, yet startlingly luminous.

Bergamot brings brightness to a soft floral heart, while the amber and vanilla character gives the composition warmth. The contrast suggests the weight and movement of antique silk.
The photograph shows an angular glass bottle with a white spherical cap, a small triangular gold badge marked 1905, and a pale presentation box. The amber-coloured perfume brings warmth to these crisp shapes.
The house announced an edition of 1,905 numbered bottles. This describes the release, rather than a claim about current availability.
