About

Colonia Ambra opens with a rich, deep ambergris, prominent from the first sniff. This is quickly met by a clean, musky character, with an unexpected saline marine touch that keeps things exciting. There's an animalic undercurrent, yet it remains smooth and sophisticated, drying down to a subtly powdery, balsamic warmth, hinting at woods and even a touch of dark rose for some.
