Who knew that rose and ambergris could be such a heady combination? Ambra from Acqua di Parma is like a fresh wave of cold ocean water, the potpourri in your grandmother’s bathroom, the smell of salt that’s been there for decades, comforting because it’s always been there, but a smell you can’t get used to either, incense from last night, remnants of smoke in the distance, a lighthouse, a beacon. One of my favourite perfumes from my collection, it’s not always easy to wear but it’s easy to love.
