Ambre Gris

Ambre Gris by Alyssa Ashley, composed by Luca Maffei and released in 2012 for women, is a floral citrus with a warm, resinous base. Everyone who describes it calls it floral and citrus, about half add sweet, and a minority find it spicy, resinous or amber, so the amber of the name arrives late rather than leading.

The notes come as a single list. Calabrian bergamot and Sicilian lemon give a bright, slightly bitter citrus opening, with pink pepper adding a light, rosy spice. The heart is Bulgarian rose and Indian jasmine, a rich, classic floral pairing in which the rose brings a jammy sweetness and the jasmine a heady depth. The base is labdanum for a dark, leathery, resinous warmth, amber for a soft glow, Madagascar vanilla for sweetness, and sandalwood for a creamy wood.

Reports on how it wears are still few. Its character suits autumn and evenings, for someone who wants a floral that dries down into a warm, old-fashioned amber.
