AMBERGRIS
Ambergris is a rare and luxurious marine note with a complex, sophisticated scent profile. It has a warm, musky, sweet, and slightly marine character with subtle earthy and animalic undertones. The fragrance is smooth, rich, and incredibly long-lasting, often described as having a soft, powdery, and slightly salty marine quality that adds depth and sensuality to perfumes.
Origin & Extraction
Ambergris is a rare substance produced in the digestive system of sperm whales. It is formed as a protective secretion around squid beaks that cannot be digested. Naturally expelled into the ocean, it ages and weathers for years, developing its unique fragrance. Due to environmental protection laws, modern perfumery uses synthetic ambergris or lab-created alternatives that mimic its complex scent profile.
