I've just bought Silence the Sea by Strangelove-my first ambergris perfume. Wow!! It smells incredible and so unique. Thank you for your lovely video from London x
You are definitely a GURU. I enjoyed watching this video and i will watch it over and over again😊😊. Before i watch this video i knew (a few years ago) about "ambergris" because i was surfing for something on the internet and i happen to see that word, i immediately started to read, i was very impressed, and i go like: no wonder perfumes that contain ambergris are so frikin' expensive.😁😁. Keep up the good work man. Thanks for the video.
I have been intrigued by the art of perfume making since a while. I loved how you explained a complex topic in-depth without it going over our heads. Thank you for guiding me in this mysterious world of perfumes. Gonna binge watch your videos from now on.
The way you talk about scents and the way you connect it with nature and give a deep understanding of these scents I'm lucky to come through your channel so early in my life and get to know so much about natural scents. Thankyou.
Very informative video again from nikhil bhai setting high standards. not only beginers but pros will also enjoy it. said many things in simple way. seen many blogs before regarding amber but this was way too simple to understand for a layman..highly recommend for others farhan Ahmed Mumbai
Great beautiful upload. Thank you so much! I recently acquired a natural ambergris from a discovery on January 2018 in Okinawa Japan. 1.5ml was only ¥2,000. Boy, she (Ms. Hanayo Tashiro) really don’t have any greedy ness. I would have paid more!! Anyway, it smells slightly sweet, a bit sparkly kind of coolness, almost translucent feel it has.
Thank you for this informative video. I learn more from these videos than from any others that I watch on TH-cam. Ambergris is one of my favorite and quite possibly my favorite fragrance note, so I enjoyed what you discussed here very much.
A great video for perfume aficionados on ambergirs. Thank you very much introducing ambergris seller from India too. BTW, I had the privilege of sniffing various types of ambergris and ambergris tincture last week at Jovoy (London). I visited twice there. It's during this second visit, that Sultan was there and he gave us an excellent tutorial on ambergris and smelled raw ambergris of all sorts and sampled various tinctures and maceration (all from Coronation Ambergris, exclusively available at Jovoy London) in various perfumery. I wish I had recorded it. Sultan was wiping his ambergris laden hand on his clothes all the time. I'm not joking, This guy loves it. :D We tried Hasu-no-Hana (Grossman) with and without ambergris. This whale substance just made the smell more rounded and nuanced and also very long lasting (the smell was there after 4-5 washes with only 1 soap washes). I could smell Hasu-no-Hana even after 16-18 hours on my skin! During my 1st visit, I also tried the tincture and masceration with two pure Dahnal oud from Sylhet and one possibly from Assam. It was a revelation, bro!
I couldn't have been happier! I'm guessing it is Irisoir. I sampled his latest version of Shamama, Irisoir, Al Hareem, Jardin de borneo Gardenia that day! He made them even better than before.
I must thank you to introduce me to Sultan's attars (and rekindle my love for single oils and attars), and consequently to the man himself. Truly grateful. Please let me know if you visit UK. :)
I like Millesime Imperial but I think EROLFA is the best representative of breezy oceanic scent profile by Creed, and best representation of ambergris by them. I once found this in a discussion forum: "Helional, lyral, hedione, dihydromercinol, and ambergris tincture 5% will make the Creed sea salt accord. Creed uses the same accord in all fragrances. That accord contains 5% ambergris." I have the book "Floating Gold". It does emphasize the origin of ambergris as being whale poop, not vomit.
Excellent video Nikhil and glad the background score is not the main show :). Loads of pertinent information, very well researched and superbly delivered. Very well done.
A very much thank u for the video. Now i know what Ambergris is. On a different note after using attar for nearly a decade , after being inspired from ur videos & reviews i have decided to go for Artisanal ouds. But dear i want u to decide for which house shall i go for between ensar oud, imperial oud or Agar aura. Presently i have saved some 300 $ from my precious earnings. So kindly tell me for which artisanal oud i should go far, i was thinking of Oudh yousuf or Oudh Haroon from ensar oudh but i think u can guide me better. So far the better oudhs that i have used are dehn ul oudh amiri , dehn ul oudh qadeem from ajmal & kambodi qadeem from attar mohd ayub ( which was also recommended by u & thanks for it again ). Waiting for ur reply sire !!!.
Masterful video Nikhil. These educational pieces are remarkable and fun to watch. Your editing was superb and your presentation was stunning brother. Truly made for a masterclass piece.
Notice that the ambergris with the pinkish center also has organic hairs in it.. they say they don’t know how it’s created but I have a theory... if whales can only excrete liquids, how do they digest muscle and bone? I think it could be an attempt at digesting another mammal.
Thanks for the great and informative video. Sadly, The version of Millesime Imperial with the thin sprayer presented in this video is the last version containing the lovely salty ambergris. Newer version are nothing but generic mall scent. Even the watermelon note was replaced with lemon. Shame.
What an informative upload.This kind of stuff makes you different from others sir,and I need to mention particularly about the intro of this video ... Excellent!
I learned quite a lot from this. You already know this and then some, but for those who don't know, top quality ambergris is worth more than its weight in gold!
I would love to get my nose on some ambergris tinctures for my self education. Do you have a recommendation for any genuine ambergris soliflores? Great content by the way. Educational and mind opening.
sir nice to see your utube channel because last week i was found one thing in the ocean her in the Philippines. during i do fish hunting in the ocean. and i think the thing i found is AMBERGRIS
That’s ambergris or Amber.. I’m looking for Amber..u had suggested me opus 6 once which is heavenly.cant thank you enough..which is better opus 6 or ambre loup
very good video sir. thank u sir for making such videos, and i think u r the one who made video on this subject. sir i am confused between ajmal oud mukhallad and swiss arabin oud mubarak which one will u recommend
I'm a big fan of your channel. Can you confirm channel #5 has ambergris? I see a story on base notes that says it does not. I bought a vintage bottle like yours after watching your excellent video and now wonder if it contains ambergris
Hey thank you man! When i had an opportunity to have my nose on ambergris. It was off smelling , but when i gave it tome i.e. 3 or 4 sniffs , i felt very calm & cool in my body and mind . It was some 48 degrees out there in India , so definitely not breezy. Did u have any same experience in any case. Let me know
Great video again Nikhil. Thank you. I'm so pleased, I thought grey ambergris was better than white since I have 20 ml of white ambergris. Yes, it is subtle in smell. I'm working on a perfume that I've used ambergris at the base.
Great video. Talking about frustrations: there are so many wonderful natural materials which are mostly so expensive to have... I am new to perfumery but I was wondering if some people on here would be willing to buy together with me bigger quantities this would reduce so drastically the cost and we could even buy wholesale that can even be cheaper. I am sure we can make it work if you are in or around London? Atm I need Sandal wood, and ambergris and open to other materials too. Best
Rumor has it Creed uses human ambergris, the elderly Mr Creed maintains a most luxurious diet, then reportedly only excrements once a month and a very small lump that is left to demoisturize and is then used in Milessime Imperial, you can sometimes see tiny particles on the skin when this masterpiece is applied from a flacon that was left to setle for a while as instructed in the video
I love this ingredient Ambergris as it has smell of fresh ocean. Please recommend me a attar or spray in which I could experience Ambergris (but under Rs. 300-500 please) which I could afford.
white color wih mix of black in the inside layer. WHAT IF it doesn't melt with hot needle and spoon? but it has smell, floating in the sea. pls. help me identify if the one i have is ambergris. waiting for reply.. thank you.
Excellent your video, very intrusive. I would like to know if you could refer me to any company that buys ambergris? I live in Brazil, and I have one of approximately 20 kg.

Nikhil, the Introduction shows you as a true Lyric man. Another great episode. Thank you so much.
Great entertaining and informative video. Thanks Nikhil!
having a sound and sight video about things I want so badly to smell is a blessing and a curse Boss
Such a good video Nikhil. Awesome content. This is one of the best videos about notes and materials I've ever had the privilege to watch. Flawless.
Hey, Master. I found something like ambergris, but I don't know if it really is. Could you help me identify it?
I could listen to you talk about scents all day! Your descriptions of perfumery is masterful
Such fine eloquence and attention to detail! Thank you Nikhil
Loved your episode, realizing it's 2 years old . Would love to hear from you about other niche perfumes like By Kilian and Roja Dove

Great beautiful upload.
Thank you so much!
I recently acquired a natural ambergris from a discovery on January 2018 in Okinawa Japan.
1.5ml was only ¥2,000.
Boy, she (Ms. Hanayo Tashiro) really don’t have any greedy ness. I would have paid more!!
Anyway, it smells slightly sweet, a bit sparkly kind of coolness, almost translucent feel it has.
Y'all need Ambergris to make better perfume? If yes contact my friend Mr Kevin on WhatsApp +15304970753. Good prices
I have ambergris if you want to buy pm me
I could nearly smell your wonderful descriptions, my friend. Reminds me of the movie, "Perfume". Came here somehow researching ambergris.
Thank you for this informative video. I learn more from these videos than from any others that I watch on TH-cam. Ambergris is one of my favorite and quite possibly my favorite fragrance note, so I enjoyed what you discussed here very much.
Tengo 25 kilo y lo quiero vender favor dejar su número al que le pueda interesar
Great vid! This is what we need in this fragcom. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Does baccarat smell like ambergris? Wondering your rating of that perfume. It’s over popular but it’s my favorite.
First part of ur video is touchy
one component no perfumer should be without! ;) Thank you for the video! :D

My pleasure and thanks for educating us on this rarely known ingredient in the west. By the way my Elysium review is on line if you were interested.

Exotic Scents your evolution has been a joy to witness. I look forward to your future projects brother.
Great informative video once again. Bro any recommendations on the best ambergris attars available in India? Thanks for the review again
that was really funny how elegantly the intro came to "excrement" 😅
Notice that the ambergris with the pinkish center also has organic hairs in it.. they say they don’t know how it’s created but I have a theory... if whales can only excrete liquids, how do they digest muscle and bone? I think it could be an attempt at digesting another mammal.
This was an amazing fragrance discussion. Thanks for contributing to the depth of my fragrance hobby.
Thanks for the great and informative video.
Sadly, The version of Millesime Imperial with the thin sprayer presented in this video is the last version containing the lovely salty ambergris. Newer version are nothing but generic mall scent. Even the watermelon note was replaced with lemon.
Shame.
Thats the one I have but sadly I left it in my car duriing a hot day and i think it messed with the fragrance
I know about that.
But i didn't expect that you would make a video about that ...
You doing an amazing job. Keep spreading the knowledge bro.
What an informative upload.This kind of stuff makes you different from others sir,and I need to mention particularly about the intro of this video ... Excellent!
Great video Nikhil. I thought Green Irish Tweed also has Ambergris accord.
You are mood changer kya bolte ho bhai lagta hai awaz mai bhi khusbhu hai appke
I learned quite a lot from this.
You already know this and then some, but for those who don't know, top quality ambergris is worth more than its weight in gold!
Bro very detailed explanations indeed and specially this is by far my favourite note... pls can you suggest me the best Amber fragrance.thank you
Great info.. How do one sell an ambergis to a legitimate buyer?
I would love to get my nose on some ambergris tinctures for my self education.
Do you have a recommendation for any genuine ambergris soliflores?
Great content by the way. Educational and mind opening.
Very well structured introduction with poetic touches and inspired contemplation - singer, author and a great 'nose' - thanks Nikhil!
Im writing a story about ambergris collectors so thanks so much for this information

I'm a big fan of your channel. Can you confirm channel #5 has ambergris? I see a story on base notes that says it does not. I bought a vintage bottle like yours after watching your excellent video and now wonder if it contains ambergris

Bvlgari Pour homme Extreme is also an ambergris perfume??
Rumor has it Creed uses human ambergris, the elderly Mr Creed maintains a most luxurious diet, then reportedly only excrements once a month and a very small lump that is left to demoisturize and is then used in Milessime Imperial, you can sometimes see tiny particles on the skin when this masterpiece is applied from a flacon that was left to setle for a while as instructed in the video
😂😨🤢🤮
Once again a very good video,with lots of information I didn't know about.
I have found 25 KILOS of pure white premium AMBERGRIS in rosarito Mexico and don't know what to do with it it's completely dry too any offers
I love ❤️ your beautiful videos! U should make perfume commercials professionally!
Amazing review, loved it for my understanding of Amber
Where can I get good ambergris oil for making attars?
is it true that ambrrgris can be sold? so who wants to buy it? because I have 2kg and if it sells I can collect more
I love this ingredient Ambergris as it has smell of fresh ocean. Please recommend me a attar or spray in which I could experience Ambergris (but under Rs. 300-500 please) which I could afford.
Hello Nikhil, thank you for some very informative insights, cheers bro 👍🏽

I have huge pieces of ambergris tell me what to do please, i want to sell them
Is ambergris a summer or winter perfume?
Wonderful video. He always gives us such a wonderful education
Kyaaa bhat Hai janab!
Great review :)
Since yesterday i know everything about ambergris.
Non other then Roja Dove who is on his Germany tour told me yesterday intressting infos about ambergris.
Ambergris are the excrements of the sperm wale as you described. Ambergris lays on the ocean while it oxidates with UV rays and the salt water. The more it oxidates - the more it will be valuable for perfumes. Since nobody knows where to find ambergris because the oceans are so big, its a story of luck if a fishermen will find some ambergris. To extract the perfume oil of Ambergris it will take 2 - 3 years and even after that process you will not know if the ambergris oil quality will be good enough to make perfumes out of it. You have be patient with this complex animal raw material as a perfumer :-).
Roja is maybe the only perfume house which use grey amber as their DNA Note - your nose will tell the truth. And real Ambergris has no relation to ambroxan in their smell character. Ambroxan describes more woody notes while ambergris has some sweet, oriental and spicy kind of touch to it.
Thanks Nikhel bhai :)! Indeed it was a very special moment which i really appreciate. Roja is a friendly human beeing who takes his time for everyone who has some question about his work. He told me a lovely story about a muskpod which He got from a friend 20 years ago or more. He described the smell of natural musk like a smell which you get from Hospitals. Its a very dirty smell. He used musk for tincture.
I had also the oppertunity to smell Elesiyum for the first time.
You were totaly right with your reviewed thoughts. Its a fragrance for more younger people. It has Pink pepper / lime kind of opening. Smells fresh and delicious at the same time. While it dries down, it will smell more woody and masculine. I also get some aquatic amber notes out of it :-).
These are my final thoughts.
Best wishes
Alvet
Another great education on one of the more interesting notes in perfumery. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain it.
Loved the opening of the video. Great work! Cheers!!
so well informed I am. Truely pleasant to watch. Thanks
