Ambergris, often called 'grey amber', is a legendary olfactory ingredient historically prized for its remarkable fixative qualities and complex scent. Originating from the digestive system of sperm whales, its natural form is a waxy substance that washes ashore, offering a unique, subtly animalic, and deeply marine aroma.
In perfumery, ambergris adds an unparalleled depth, warmth, and longevity to compositions. It isn’t simply a single note, but rather a complex accord evoking a salty sea breeze, sun-warmed skin, and a hint of musky sweetness. A truly coveted and luxurious ingredient.
