The magic of real ambergris.

It opens with powerful notes of the pier and harbor, with strong, scattered hints of fecal scents and a sandy undertone. Sometimes, it resembles a human odor; at other times, it feels like the scent of an animal’s fur marked by waste.

For me, the real magic happens in the drydown. Forget Megamare, Black Sea, Acqua di Sale, or any other “marine” fragrance that portrays an idealized, artistic sea. This is the closest to the true smell of the ocean—not a fragrance—that I’ve ever encountered. It carries the aroma of brackish tides, of actual sand (not an impression created by myrtle), of seaweed, and of salty skin after a swim. A lingering fecal note and a touch of iodine give it the exact scent of floating marine debris. It smells like summer air over the ocean. No synthetic blend currently replicates these elements with such precision.

As an oceanographer, I remain convinced that the only path to authentic marine scents lies in ambergris; anything else is just fantasy.
Would I wear it? No.
Would I buy it if I wanted the sea in a bottle, once and for all? Probably, yes.

Oriental-floral with honeyed amber and ambergris base

The low rating for this is baffling, but I guess it might be because the note listing is not accurate. What I get from Golden Ambergris is mostly an oriental floral fragrance, which doesn't really come off in the notes listed. On first spray, it's indolic, suggesting a jasmine/gardenia white floral that is entirely absent from the notes list. The ambergris is there and you can feel its animalic presence immediately, but its stank is subdued by powdery potpourri. It's not my style of scent exactly, I'd probably describe it as slightly grandma-ish, but I've smelled way way worse in this genre. There is a honey-sweetened amber note that is also not listed, and along with the sandalwood and ambergris creates a very nice base, warm and comforting animalics, not just stank for the sake of stank. Still think Black Ambergris is the best of this line (and the cheapest too, interestingly), but Golden Ambergris is definitely not as bad as the ratings make it out to be (5.7/10 at the time of this review).

The drydown is worth it

Golden Ambergris starts out with a blast of cinnamon, sweet lipsticky iris, and leather. But soon somewhere in there something is giving cat pee, and, as a lover of animalics, I probably need to add--not in a good way. Eventually it fades, and there's glorious ambergris with a little sandalwood. I wish I could cut to the salty, funky chase with this one.
