About Al Ambra Black Forest

The shop's listing still files Black Forest as an eau de parfum. This guide follows the label.

Black Forest has the shortest note list of the four scents: one note per layer. It opens with grapefruit, a citrus note that is tart with a bitter edge. The heart is ambroxan, a single aroma molecule modelled on ambergris that smells dry, mineral and woody. The base is given only as woody notes, without a named wood. The shop and the brand list the same three notes.

On its own page, Al Ambra describes Black Forest as a fresh citrus-and-wood scent with little sweetness that stays close to the skin, and suggests it for spring and summer. The brand gives the United Arab Emirates as the country of origin.

Despite the shared name, Black Forest and Black Forest Elixir are two different perfumes in two different bottles. Black Forest is the blue bottle with three listed notes. Elixir is the matte black bottle with a green forest label and a long list of notes, from aldehydes and white peach to vanilla and patchouli. The only note the two have in common is ambroxan. The comparison puts them side by side.

In photos, Black Forest is also easy to confuse with Dubai Musk, because both come in the same cobalt bottle. The label tells them apart: Dubai Musk has a white label, Black Forest a black one with gold lettering.

The shop lists Black Forest as unisex and files it under the citrus and oriental families. This page shows no price and no stock; both are on the product page in the shop.

Questions about Al Ambra Black Forest

What does Al Ambra Black Forest smell like?

The shop lists grapefruit at the top, ambroxan in the heart and woody notes in the base, and files the scent under citrus and oriental.

Is Al Ambra Black Forest an eau de parfum or an extrait de parfum?

An extrait de parfum: that is what is printed on the bottle label, and Al Ambra's own product page says the same. The shop's listing still files it as an eau de parfum.

Is Al Ambra Black Forest 50 ml or 100 ml?

50 ml (1.7 fl oz). The size is printed on the label. At our last check the shop listed no other size, no sample and no set of Black Forest.

What is Al Ambra Black Forest inspired by?

Al Ambra names no other perfume as the inspiration for Black Forest: not in the product name, not on its own product page and not on the label. This guide therefore names none. Other websites sometimes link Al Ambra scents to perfumes from other houses; those are their statements, not the brand's.

Is Al Ambra Black Forest for men or for women?

Both. The shop and Al Ambra's own product title list Black Forest as unisex.

How long does Al Ambra Black Forest last?

Al Ambra's own product page gives 6–8 hours and describes the projection as light. Those are the brand's figures. This guide has no measurements of its own, and how long you keep noticing a scent differs from skin to skin.

Is Al Ambra Black Forest in stock?

This guide does not show stock, because it changes. The product page in the shop shows whether Black Forest can be ordered today.

Where can you buy Al Ambra Black Forest in Europe?
