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 an Acquired verdict, an amber-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.

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.
