Ambre Gris
The sea gold that bewitched the sense of smell


In nature
Ambergris - so called to distinguish it from the more common vegertal amber - is produced by the sperm whale as its intestinal secretion. The material that is expelled has color, consistency and above all smell characteristics that are far from those of the product used in perfumery. The sun and the natural oxidation caused by sea water have to do their "magic" for several years before the matter can solidify and, when reaching the coasts, be collected. The singular process of production and processing of the raw material, operated solely by nature and therefore long and unpredictable, combined to the extraordinary and fascinating odorous properties that I have indicated above, have for centuries given it a mythical aura which is now a symbol of glamor and allure for everyone.
Curiosity
- -The most known property is the aphrodisiac which is why it is said that Casanova used to dissolve it in drinks once a day
- - for the same purpose, King Charles II of England used to eat it on eggs
- - The Egyptians were among the first to use gray amber’s smoke for therapeutic purposes
- - Both in smoke and by ingestion, the medical effect was comparable to a modern estrogen cure.
- - During the Middle Ages people believed that inhaling amber would protect from the plague thanks to its strong and persistent smell

My Ambre Gris
Noble material and at the same time one of the symbols of the history of perfumery, it could not have failed to gain my nose’s attention. And it was love at first sight! I met her through my path of research and rediscovery of raw materials and I wanted to enhance its most flowery and woody notes, with less emphasis on the animalized facets, to make it less intrusive, but more elegant and round. From the top notes of lemon and pink pepper to the flowery ones of jasmine and Bulgarian rose, everything prepares the arrival of the queen, amber, with all its sensuality. This is how my Ambre Gris was born, to be loved by everyone, men and women, to hold your hand in a journey around the world touching Morocco, India, Bulgaria and Italy with its olfactory notes, allowing you to mind travel in elegance.
