A Life More Fragrant
Amber & Olive is an independent UK publication exploring fragrance, home fragrance and thoughtful gifting. We believe scent is deeply personal — tied to places, memories and the everyday moments that make a home feel like home.
Through honest reviews, considered guides and carefully curated discoveries, we share what we genuinely find beautiful, interesting and worth experiencing.
The Story Behind Amber & Olive
Amber and olive are more than a name.
Amber speaks to fragrance — warmth, resin, spice and the ancient scent traditions that have travelled through the Middle East and Mediterranean for centuries. Olive speaks to something quieter: home, roots, permanence and the landscapes of the Levant.
Together, they reflect the world that inspires this publication — a life between Britain and Jordan, shaped by two places but connected through scent, hospitality and the simple pleasure of giving something beautiful.
Amber & Olive is our way of bringing those influences together: discovering fragrances from around the world while never losing sight of the places, memories and people that make scent meaningful.
Founder & Editor
Amber & Olive is edited by Bushra, a fragrance enthusiast with a particular love for discovering scents that are beautiful, wearable and genuinely worth experiencing.
Her approach is simple: wear the fragrance properly, live with it, and share what it actually feels like to own and use — not simply repeat the notes on the box. From affordable Arabian discoveries to niche perfumery and home fragrance, every review begins with genuine curiosity and an independent opinion.
