Ambre Gris is a Amber, woody, Vanilla scent created for Men and Women in 2012 by perfumer Luca Maffei.
Review
This scent is sweet and calming, yet warm and seductive at the same time. A salty essence is created within the sweetness. Musk, Iris, and Rose help to make this scent truly intoxicating. It can be worn at the office, but is best suited for intimate occasions, and will work well in Fall, Winter, and early Spring. It has been compared to Alyssa Ashley Ambre Gris, and has similarities to Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Grand Soir.
Inspiration
Warm and seductive, Ambre Gris pays homage to the aphrodisiac qualities of natural Ambergris. Drying out naturally on the sea, constantly kissed by the sun, this essence is said to be too complex for vocabulary.
Notes
Ambergris sits at the heart of this composition, topped with Fresh notes that add a salty, airy quality. Iris and Rose are like a soft, sweet breeze, while Geranium and Clove add a subtle depth. Labdanum adds an ever-so-subtle resinous quality, pumping up the Amber note, and the sweetness of Benzoin and Vanilla bring in a sweetness that becomes seductive with warm Musk.
