Ambre Gris

A salty amber composition with a touch of powder, a little incense and the most delicious, bittersweet dry-down. An enduring favourite that always lifts my mood and adapts to any given situation and time of day. Perfect for colder months, but easily translatable to warmer weather in its Mediterranean feel. An undeniable, but unobtrusive presence. It's "established" smelling, like a worldly older woman. Luxe but not gouache, with a complexity and longevity far beyond its deceptively low price point. Similar to Perris Monte Carlo's Ambre Gris, but with a feminine edge in the stronger rose note and slightly more powder. That said, an easily unisex fragrance. I have little idea how this fragrance relates to the scent of true ambregris, but I highly recommend if you're looking for an affordable and distinctive amber fragrance that far out-performs its price point. A quiet masterpiece by the brilliant Luca Maffei.

Another winner for me. I think even in synthetic form Ambergris is a note that must find its wearer, find the right chemistry to show full potential. As other reviewers have expressed polar opinions - try before buy, just don't blame the juice. After all we have this huge variety of fragrances in the world exactly to look for the Right One for us only. Here main players are labdanum with lemon and vanilla - they create an impression of "ambregris". To me it is more wearable than Ambre Gris of Balmain. Alyssa Ashley's Ambergris is very easy to pull off for both genders, it is powdery-sweet, comfortable, on a very relaxed side, nothing sickly was ever detected, as often too much synthetic powder can make you beg for some air. It will be complimented, I Am sure, majority of people tend to love scents like that from the strangers.

This perfume is a perfect match on my skin. It’s very warm and sexy, a bit powdery but definitely vanilla and Amber. On me it smells expensive and it lasts forever. If my sister tries this it’s so different, more citrus and less sophisticated. So this is one of those perfumes that can make you or break you, which I like because it makes it a lot more personal to wear. I am absolutely in love with this beauty and will continue to wear it a lot more

A nice muted spicy, powdery, amber concoction with rosy undertones. Luxury in a bottle for a great price. I am starting to really love my Alyssa Ashley (Houbigant) collection for their timeless elegance. It's not exactly like Essence de Patchouli, and not a direct replacement for it. I would say Ambre Gris is more of a quiet perfume with a spicy amber, rosy, vanilla sillage. Simply gorgeous!

This is another peppery bjuti, and, I don't know how it got under my radar.... again... cause I bought it some y ago now, nevermind, if y like pepper, y go for this, I also can smell the rose and amber, and as with me, proably my little bottle will be empty in a short time, and, it smells lovely lyered with my Reveal CK, another nais peppery scent :))
