Jéroboam Ambra is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Vanina Muracciole. Ambra opens with Bergamot, Geranium, and Incense, settles into a heart of Patchouli and Peru Balsam, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Jéroboam's Ambra carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

A truly polarising amber, Ambra isn't just a sweet, balsamic hug; it's a shape-shifting journey from minty freshness to deep, musky warmth. It's either an instant love, a 'masterpiece' that smells 'skanky sexy', or a 'screechy, sharp' 'grandfather's armpit' incident. Definitely sample before you commit.

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 long-lasting nature and noticeable sillage make it suitable for dates and formal events where you want to leave an impression. While some find it office-safe due to its nuanced warmth, a few find its strong opening and 'skanky' potential too bold for professional settings.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Ambra opens with a surprising minty-fresh burst of geranium and bergamot, underscored by the smoky intrigue of incense. This quickly gives way to a dominant, warm heart of rich Peru balsam and earthy patchouli, creating a complex, evolving amber-like accord. The lengthy dry-down settles into a cosy base of vanilla, tonka, and musky vetiver, offering a sweet but refined warmth that lingers.
