  This perfume arrived today; I bought it blindly online with a bit of fear because I’m not very fond of buying blindly. But I have to say I like it a lot; the opening notes are as pleasant as the base, I wear it on my wrist and can’t stop smelling it. The vanilla mixed with rose and jasmine reaches me softly; it’s very pleasant and subtle. It projects a lot; I get the impression it must have a good trail. Amber? I don’t perceive it, but I do sense some sandalwood. It’s very sexy; I think it has something animalic. Definitely for conquering someone. Very feminine and somewhat feline. Recommended for all year round, but in summer you’ll have to be careful not to overwhelm those around you, as it’s a perfume with incredible strength. The bottle has a beautiful contrast of gold and black. I bought the 30ml version just in case I didn’t like it. I give it an 8 out of 10.

  Ambre Gris is an interpretation of amber that offers amber plain and simple, but with a refined, stylish, and gentle simplicity, sober, elegant, and androgynous, which I have liked a lot. Here on Fragrantica it’s cataloged as feminine, but the box and bottle carry the unisex symbol, and a while ago I tried it for the first time and the lady at the perfumery offered it to me as unisex, otherwise I wouldn’t have noticed. It’s an amber accord, sweet and balsamic, with a precious luminosity and freshness. In the opening, that amber sweetness yields to subtle citrus, fresh, and fruity nuances, which don’t eclipse the warmth of the amber but add freshness to it. This opening is ephemeral, lasts nothing. Then, subtly, the fragrance becomes powdery with ethereal and translucent floral wafts, very beautiful, creating an ambered, warm, and very powdery aroma, which reminds me of powder puffs, but not just any powder puffs, but of an 18th-century French dressing table with poufs and overflowing with ultra-expensive makeup powder. Little by little, a more resinous and masculine amber shows up, sweet but rough and vanillaized, where a creamy sandalwood weaves in to correct the previous powdery note and show a cruder, woodier amber accord, though equally precious. In my opinion, it’s mainly feminine, but I have no problem wearing it. The opening is the most feminine part; then, as it develops, it loses that excessive femininity and a more wearable aroma for a man appears, and although I have more masculine ambers, this one seems equally very good to me. The performance is good; on my skin it lasted about 8 hours, although its projection is moderate and soft, it’s an intimate and close-range perfume. I see its use appropriate in cold and temperate climates, day or night, it’s not intrusive or annoying, so it’s very versatile. Highly recommended perfume for women who like these amber accords; for men, I would only recommend it if you’re open-minded and like these notes, otherwise better not to try it because you’ll probably tag it as feminine, anyway I got the 50ml Eau de Parfum online for 10€, I didn’t risk much because I already knew the scent, as I said at the beginning, but at that price, nothing is lost.

  Alyssa Ashley Ambre Gris fresh out of the bottle is intense, opening with citrus like Sicilian lemon and Calabrian bergamot, with a spicy touch of pink pepper. Then come Bulgarian rose petals and Indian jasmine, elegant flowers that give a sensual and cozy warmth. The fusion of amber with notes that enhance its floral sensuality makes the animalic side disappear, highlighting its magnificence: this allows the lemon and Calabrian bergamot to give a foamy and peculiar opening with pink pepper, cedar, and absolute labdanum, before giving an unexpected depth with balsamic and dry accents, closing with sweet Madagascar vanilla. The bottle looks like a gold bar: smooth, flat, and square, with gender symbols engraved on the back to indicate it’s unisex. The base is surprisingly persistent (despite the heat of the test day) and warm thanks to Virginia cedar and Madagascar vanilla. I love this elegant, sexy, and intense perfume because it’s an aroma highlighted by a bouquet of fragrant citrus, sweet and powdery perfumed tones that give a sensual, warm, and romantic feeling, perfect for cold winter days. Good general sensations, with a very contained cost, you can add a small jewel to your collection that you’ll have to hide if you don’t want your girlfriend to steal it with elegance.

  If Essence de Patchouli gave me rejection, Ambre Gris has thrown me into the depths of despair. Brave horror. I thought with citrus and pepper it would be lighter and fruitier than Patchouli, so I bought it. ¡Errooooooooooooooor!!!!! Does anyone remember the cheap clones from the 70s and 80s trying to imitate Chanel No. 5 that ended up smelling like a gas station pump? That’s where Ambre Gris is heading. Rose? Jasmine? Who says? Like Patchouli, it has a nasty labdanum, a Puleva shake-style artificial glucose vanilla, and the usual synthetic amber in full force. A nightmare. It has that cloyingly sweet greasiness of a decomposing animal’s odor. It’s not far from the nauseating smell that flooded my parents’ house when a rat died in the attic. Few perfumes cause such disgust and repulsion, and this one succeeds.

  Pleasant amber with a floral halo, but as an Eau Parfumée it sounds very soft to me. It evokes classic soap, like Magno or shaving soap—that old-school hygiene vibe with slippery soaps and linen towels. It’s unisex, though I think it suits a guy better. I like it and I don’t like it, I don’t know. It just doesn’t fit my favorite scents. I wouldn’t mind if someone else wore it; I could even think it smells good, but for me, it doesn’t.
