Ambergris

Ambergris is a rare oceanic material historically formed in the sperm whale and aged by sea and sun into a soft, animalic-musky scent with salty sweetness. Today fine fragrance usually uses ethical recreations that capture its skin-like glow and fixative power. It rounds harsh edges, extends longevity and adds a subtle marine warmth. On skin ambergris feels intimate and slightly saline — less 'beach' than living warmth, the quiet luxury behind many classic and modern bases.
