Ambre Gris
Ambre Gris by Perris Monte Carlo is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It moves into geranium, iris, clove, rose and ambergris and dries down to labdanum, benzoin, vanilla and musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Heart
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Clove Hot, dry and dental. Powerful — a little goes a long way.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
Dry-down
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
