Ambergris
Description
Ambergris is a rare and precious fragrance material derived from the digestive tract of sperm whales. It has a complex, earthy, and slightly sweet scent, often described as resembling the aroma of a damp forest floor. Ambergris is highly prized in perfumery for its ability to fix and enhance other fragrance notes.
How it feels
Fragrances containing ambergris often evoke a sense of mystery, sophistication, and timelessness. The scent is typically associated with luxury, exclusivity, and a touch of the exotic. Ambergris-based perfumes can be worn year-round, but they are particularly well-suited for evening wear and formal occasions.
Use in perfumery
Ambergris is primarily used as a base note in fine fragrances, where it helps to anchor and prolong the scent. It is often blended with other animalic notes, such as musk, as well as woody and floral accords. Ambergris is particularly prized for its ability to enhance the longevity and sillage (projection) of a fragrance.
