Blue Wave

If you jump right into smelling a fresh spritz, you’ll probably smell only…

The lush blue oceanic profile of sinking-grade Filipino oud is the perfect oud to swim in a pool of ambergris, as it adds the deep blue blast of resin, toned by the sandy dry beach tone of olde grey amber.

Blue Wave is a ± 35% concentration perfume rendering of Jamaican Ambergris Attar that showcases the smell of raw ambergris and how it transforms its co-stars, with pure ambergris tincture as the carrier.

A delicacy of a pure oud hovering over your hand with an aura of ambergris glowing around it, and waves of jambu frangi-jasmine sweetness oozing all over. All with a splash of fine Georgian rose otto to add its diffusive lift and lend an air of elegance to Jamaican Ambergris’ boozy Caribbean, rum-sweet profile.

The cornerstone of Jamaican Ambergris is the exquisite grey ambergris stowed away in our Royal patron’s personal collection for decades. These stones, plus an extra precious batch of the Sultan’s own amber-infused Oud……

Perfumers would like to have their ambergris tinctures be at least a few months old. If the infusion sat for a year – great!

Now, imagine what would happen if your ambergris went into an attar at the dawn of the Reagan administration, sat in the dark for forty years in royal treasury…… and you turn that attar into a star feature of your perfume.

The oceanic, sandy ambergris veneer is present all the time. If you jump right into smelling a fresh spritz, you’ll probably smell only ambergris; it’s that dense. A split second later, the rest of the aromatics catch up and the show kicks off.

I love what ambergris does to jasmine. In perfumery, jasmine is often quite a dense heart note, beautiful but not one that jumps at you. But here it’s like the spotlight brings the jasmine to life, invigorated by the oaky, sagey sweetness of jambu resin, frangipani and vanilla.

I must say, this is a hard fragrance to note-pick. The scent is tightly wound, and while the ambergris element is palpable, the composition is so unusual you’re experiencing a unique scent afresh.
