Grey Amber

Grey amber, also known as ambergris, is a rare and luxurious fragrance note with a rich, warm scent profile that carries subtle marine, earthy, and slightly sweet undertones. Its aroma is deep, sensual, and complex, adding an enigmatic and opulent quality to perfumes. Grey amber imparts a smooth, musky character and is often used as a base note to create depth and longevity in fragrance compositions. It pairs beautifully with woody, floral, and spicy notes, contributing to fragrances that are timeless, elegant, and full of allure.

History & Production: Grey amber, derived from the digestive system of sperm whales, has been used in perfumery for centuries and was highly prized for its unique aroma and fixative properties. Due to ethical and sustainability concerns, grey amber is now primarily recreated using synthetic molecules like Ambroxan and Cetalox to replicate its distinctive scent. In modern perfumery, grey amber is valued for its ability to add warmth, depth, and sophistication, evoking a sense of mystery, heritage, and refined luxury.
