Ambra

Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella Ambra is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Ambra opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Amber and Myrrh, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Patchouli. Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella's Ambra carries a Favourite verdict, a amber-led wear.

This amber scent is a divisive one. Many find it light, fresh and comforting, perfect for everyday wear. Others are put off by a perceived artificiality and heavy ambroxan, calling it harsh and disappointing compared to the brand's original.

Its moderate projection and generally soft wear make it suitable for office and casual settings. While some find it elegant enough for formal events, the inherent warmth and 'cozy' feel lean more towards relaxed environments. It's definitely not one for the gym.

About

Ambra delivers a warm, comforting embrace. It kicks off with a bright, subtly bitter bergamot that quickly melts into a rich, powdery amber heart infused with resinous myrrh. The dry-down settles into a smooth, creamy sandalwood and earthy patchouli, creating a grounded yet elegant finish.
