    Oh, Ambre Gris, where have you been all my life? Or rather, where was I because this perfume was always been around for affordable prices. And I always meant to sample it and then got sidetracked....

    I sniffed this by chance at a department store and loved the warmth of the scent. I always thought amber was a masculine note and this fragrance does have a slight masculine vibe but it's also...

    An enormous oriental rendered in watercolor, Amber Gris has a translucency that keeps it from being dense despite being very sweet. The alleged notes include: Top: Myrrhe, benzoin, pink pepper,...

    In my journey with fragrances I am learning more and more. After reading reviews and hearing this perfume being mentioned many times I decided to give it a go at only $30. The bottle is nice and...

    I wish there was a maybe option for the buy again question. I am wildly unsure about this one. I am actually torn between absolutely hating this and wanting to live inside the bottle forever. I...

    Very lovely fragrance. Has a cozy, buttery sweetness, but it's not gourmand. The woodiness really comes through on my skin. Pleasant and different. Potentially FBW.

    This is a warm, sweet, musky scent, and seems suitable for both men and women. In fact, this would absolutely be much more delicious on a man than a woman. I prefer the dry down over the initial...

    I love this one. Warm, ambery, spicy (peppery!) and a touch of sweet, this fragrance is really versatile. It feels totally right anytime, whether I'm running errands or enjoying a night out. And,...

    Yes, this is a sweet fragrance ( and I usually hate those) but much more complex than your average gourmand. You also get flowery and metalic woody notes that make this much more interesting. Very...

    Notes: myrrh, cinnamon, pink pepper, immortal flower, benzoin, tuberose and ambergris. This fragrance opens with a marvellous gourmand accord composed of spices, floral and resinous notes. The...

    On my skin (Portuguese/Irish/Norwegian) this fragrance is deep, warm, woodsy, and musky. A slight sweetness presents itself in the form of cocoa or chocolate. I had been on the search for the...

    Tried a sample of this from LuckyScent and it is pretty much the warm, snuggly, cuddly "everyday" scent I've been searching for. Definitely get the ambergris and benzoin more than anything else on...

    Sweet rich resinous myrrh with cinnamon notes and a slight suggestion of flowers. Definitely a perfume, by which I mean it isn't gourmand, soliflore or incense, but it's pretty and rich. Perhaps...

    I absolutely love this fragrance, it has replaced Shalimar as my signature fragrance. I love its sweetness and the warm base. My husband loves this on me :)

    I tried this and Balmain's other recent fragrance, La Mome. There are a lot of similarities between them. Ambre gris is sort of an amber scent for people who are most comfortable wearing fruity...

    I can't detect Amber or Ambergris. To my nose and on my skin, it's an awful melange of sweetness. Smells as if someone took half a bottle of one perfume and another half bottle and mixed them. ...

    This is two parts Obsession mixed with one part Shalimar (with much less vanilla). A little too much cinnamon in the topnotes, IMHO. Dries down sexy and fairly close to the skin, with prominent...
