Three "Shades" of Ambergris: A Dance of Depth and Light
AmberChic is an original and captivating interpretation of ambergris, which takes center stage from start to finish, revealing its many facets in a dynamic progression. The structure is built around three aged ambergris tinctures (if I’m not mistaken, in black, brown, and white grades) and three exquisite roses, forming a luminous foundation full of depth and elegance.
Right from the opening, the more animalic and dirty facets of ambergris emerge with incredible softness, supported by fruity hints of berries and delicate floral notes. Soon after, additional floral nuances come into play—some with a tropical touch like ylang-ylang, and others cleaner and more serene like lotus flower. It’s a sensual and pleasant blend that smooths out every rough edge in the composition.
As it develops, the fragrance evolves once more showing up the base of the composition. The ambergris continues to assert itself, now taking on a more mineral and earthy character, joined by woody notes and a subtle touch of patchouli that reinforces the foundation of this highly complex yet beautifully balanced perfume.
This is where my love for black ambergris was born—the least commonly used, hardest to tame, and often underestimated grade. I especially appreciate it when paired with marine, salty, and oceanic nuances, but here I’ve discovered a completely new interpretation of this remarkable raw material. It’s the absolute star of the show, no marine notes but adorned with an elegant and addictive floral dress and touches of sweetness and woodiness.
Performance is excellent—never overwhelming or intrusive, making the scent very wearable and pleasant for those around you. It’s certainly not for everyone, but ambergris lovers absolutely shouldn’t miss this one.
