The Story
Ambre Gris is a warm, resinous amber fragrance that feels like a cozy embrace. It opens with bright citrus and aldehydes, then settles into a rich heart of spices and florals. The base is a deep, balsamic blend of amber, vanilla, and woods. It's a hidden gem from the early 90s that still feels timeless.
