Etro Ambra is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1989. Ambra opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Rose, and Geranium, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Labdanum, and Styrax, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vanilla, and Opoponax. Etro's Ambra carries a Favourite verdict, a amber-led wear.

A truly gorgeous, refined amber that's both warm and surprisingly fresh. It divides opinion with its quirky opening, but dries down to a comforting, luxurious scent. Etro knows their stuff, even if some wish it shouted a bit louder.

About

Ambra opens with a bright, unusual mix of zesty lemon and keen fir resin, spiced gently by coriander, offering an almost camphorous zing. This vivid introduction mellows into a rich, resinous heart of labdanum and styrax, grounded by earthy patchouli. The dry down is a beautifully balanced, warm amber, subtly sweet with vanilla and opoponax, cushioned by musk. It's an oriental with an unexpected airy quality.
