Ambra

Acqua di Parma Ambra is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Ambra opens with Orange, Petitgrain, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose, Patchouli, Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Sandalwood, Musk, and Ambergris. Acqua di Parma's Ambra carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a divisive beast. Acqua di Parma's Ambra is either a dirty-sexy, aquatic-animalic masterpiece for the confident, or an off-putting, burnt rubber mess. The defining, salty ambergris note is not for everyone, so spray with caution and don't blind buy.

About

Ambra kicks off with a bright, zesty citrus burst from bergamot and orange, quickly transitioning to a sophisticated heart of rose, cypriol, and earthy patchouli. But it's the base where things get truly interesting: a prominent, salty ambergris dominates, intertwined with creamy sandalwood, musky undertones, and a hint of vanilla, creating a complex woody amber aroma that some find intoxicating and others perceive as intensely animalic or even burnt.
