AMBRE OF THE SEA

Ambre of the Sea is a unisex extrait de parfum by Habibi New York, the American house founded by Shakir Ahmed and Tabassum Khan, whose name means “my beloved” in Arabic. Part of the Reserve Collection, the house's most precious line, it is a luminous, mysterious marine musky amber that combines the freshness of the ocean with the depth of ambergris.

The Fragrance

Ambre of the Sea is inspired by the enigmatic charm of the sea and its rarest treasure, ambergris, which the waves return to the shore after long journeys. It evokes a moonlit beach, where the wind carries salt and the dark water of the ocean meets the warmth of the skin. Handcrafted in small batches with a 25% concentration, it is an elegant, sensual fragrance, fresh and enveloping at the same time.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is fresh and salty: sea water and sea salt meet the brightness of bergamot and the powdery note of violet. In the heart the fragrance becomes softer and darker, with rose, the sweetness of licorice and the roundness of plum. In the base, musk and ambergris blend with vanilla, patchouli and sandalwood, in an enveloping, salty base.

Who We Recommend Ambre of the Sea To

We recommend Ambre of the Sea to those who love marine perfumes but don't want to give up a warm, sensual base, and to anyone looking for an elegant, original perfume for everyday wear. It is perfect from spring to autumn, by day as well as in the evening. Unisex, it suits him and her.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

Ambre of the Sea has an elegance that is rare for a marine perfume: no “sporty aquatic” effect, but salty, ambery skin that smells of holidays and evenings at once. You recognise it immediately, and it is hard to forget.
