Alyssa Ashley Ambre Gris is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Luca Maffei. Ambre Gris opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Labdanum. Alyssa Ashley's Ambre Gris carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a proper love-it-or-hate-it scent. If it works with your skin chemistry, you'll be raving about its velvety amber glow and surprising sophistication, especially for the price. If it doesn't, prepare for burnt plastic, soap, or nothing at all.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its warm, ambery, and occasionally powdery nature makes it a good fit for chillier days and evenings, especially for casual wear or dates. While some find it suitable for all situations, its depth and 'established' feel make it less ideal for the office or sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Ambre Gris opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and lemon, sharpened by a touch of peppery spice. This quickly gives way to a plush heart of rose and jasmine, which softens and rounds out the edges. The dry-down is where it truly shines for many, a deeply cozy and warm blanket of labdanum, sandalwood, and sweet vanilla, all wrapped in a dominant, slightly musky amber accord.
