This perfume is part of Perris 'perfume gold' collection celebrating staple vintage materials and the formula is a true recreation of sweet the salty/vanillic haze of ambergris with that alluring radiating volume only ambergris would have.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a close, low-lit fragrance for moments that feel intimate rather than public: a scent that sits near the skin but still leaves a warm, salty trace in the air. It suits a composed presence, where softness and sensuality matter more than brightness or polish.
How to wear
Best in cool weather, especially autumn and winter, where its ambergris warmth and incense-vanilla depth can spread without becoming heavy. Apply sparingly at first; one to three sprays is usually enough, as the fragrance has strong projection and long wear. On skin it turns creamy and powdery, while in air the marine-salty facet gives it lift.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like amber with texture: salty, resinous, slightly animalic and softly sweet rather than syrupy. It will appeal to those drawn to vintage-inspired niche compositions, powdery sensuality and fragrances with a warm, luminous trail.

The nose
Luca Maffei. A contemporary Italian perfumer from a perfumery family, Maffei is known for polished, expressive compositions that balance clarity with texture. He co-founded Atelier Fragranze Milano in 2011 and has worked across niche and fine fragrance with a style that often feels modern yet rooted in classical structure. For Ambre Gris, Maffei channels the elusive character of ambergris into a sweet-salty, softly animalic amber. The result fits his reputation for controlled sensuality: a composition that is luminous, well-built and tactile rather than heavy-handed.
Collaborators
Gian Luca Perris, the brand’s founder and creative director, shaped the Gold Collection vision and the house’s return to classical perfumery values, while Luca Maffei is directly credited with composing the fragrance itself.
Perris Monte Carlo’s story
Perris Monte Carlo is built around craftsmanship, rare raw materials and a reverence for perfumery heritage. The house favors authentic formulas and traditional extraction over decorative excess, aiming for fragrances that feel materially rich, precise and rooted in the art of scent itself.
Ambre Gris’s concept
Ambre Gris belongs to Perris Monte Carlo’s Gold Collection, a line inspired by vintage perfumery materials and Middle Eastern traditions, then reframed with a contemporary touch. The fragrance is conceived as a recreation of ambergris’s sweet-salty, vanillic haze, with the volume and radiance associated with that prized material.
Extra info
Part of Perris Monte Carlo’s Gold Collection, Ambre Gris was created as a modern homage to ambergris, one of perfumery’s most prized materials. It is often noted for its strong projection and unusually long-lasting presence.
