An ambergris perfume smells of salty skin, soft musk and a warm, mineral glow that sits close to the body. If you want one to try first, start with the fresh and green group below, then move towards the warmer ones. For what the material is and how it differs from its synthetic cousin, read ambergris vs ambroxan.

Creed Green Irish Tweed, Creed Original Vetiver and Nishane Ani on a pale blue background

Every perfume in the first four sections lists an ambergris note in its catalogue notes. That is all we claim: we describe the note as listed, and we do not say what any house puts in the bottle. The last group is separate, because those three perfumes are built on Ambroxan instead. You can try every one of them as a 3ml decant before you commit to more.

How to try ambergris perfumes before you buy a bottle

Ambergris notes read differently on every skin, so test before you commit. Pick the size by what you want to do. Use a 3ml for around 60 sprays to discover a scent. Choose a 10ml decant for around 200 sprays. Keep a 30ml decant for around 600 sprays. For how decanting works, read what is a perfume decant.

A good first trio covers three moods. Take one fresh pick, one musky pick and one warm pick, for example Green Irish Tweed at 12,24 €, Amber Musk at 7,02 € and Ani at 11,70 € for the 3ml size. Wear one per day on clean skin and give each a full day.

If you want an easy wear before the bottle, safe blind buy perfumes is a useful read, and if you like the soft, close-to-skin idea, white musk perfumes are a natural next step. Our notes on musk and amber explain the two neighbouring families.

Često postavljana pitanja

What does an ambergris perfume smell like?
An ambergris perfume smells of salty skin, soft musk and a warm, mineral glow. How it shows depends on the notes around it: iris and vetiver make it fresh, vanilla and benzoin make it warm and resinous.
Which perfumes have ambergris in them?
Eleven perfumes in this guide list an ambergris note, including Green Irish Tweed, Original Vetiver, Amber Musk, Eau Duelle, Ambre Nuit, Soleil de Feu, Ani, Jardin Exclusif, Amore Caffe and Oajan. We describe the note as listed in the catalogue, not what any house puts in the bottle.
Is Ambroxan the same as ambergris?
No, they are different materials, and the guide keeps them in separate groups. Another 13, Parisian Musc and Le Gemme Tygar list Ambroxan, not ambergris, and the ambergris vs ambroxan guide explains the difference.
Which ambergris perfume is best for summer?
Original Vetiver and Jardin Exclusif are the two to try first for summer, because community voters most often pick them for summer.
How can I try an ambergris perfume before buying a bottle?
Order a 3ml decant, which gives around 60 sprays, and wear it for a full day on clean skin. If you like it, step up to a 10ml decant for around 200 sprays or a 30ml decant for around 600.
