Ambra Calabria by Nishane is an extrait de parfum that unites bold spice with a luminous amber foundation. Released in 2015, this unisex scent defies simple categorization, embracing both bright energy and warm sensuality in a single, long-lingering composition.
What it smells like
-
Opening – A brisk, fruity kick built on bergamot, punctuated by green leaves and galbanum that wake the senses and set a refreshing, energizing tone.
-
Heart – A refined floral-spice core where jasmine softens the bite and coriander adds a subtle, savory lift, creating depth without heaviness.
-
Drydown – A rich amber base wrapped in musk and vanilla, lending a warm, addictive trail that lingers on skin for hours.
Scent profile and lasting power
This Extrait De Parfum formulation delivers a pronounced presence and impressive longevity. The combination of amber, musk and vanilla in the base anchors the fragrance, while the fresh-opening notes ensure you’re noticed from the moment you enter a room to hours later as it softly unfurls on the skin.
Who is it for?
- Anyone drawn to sophisticated amber-spice scents with a bright, citrusy opening.
- Fragrance enthusiasts seeking a unisex signature that works across seasons and occasions.
- Collectors and connoisseurs who value higher concentration perfumes that project and endure.
When and where to wear
Ambra Calabria shines in transitional weather and evening settings. The opening citrus kick keeps it versatile for daytime wear in milder months, while the warm amber-core becomes even more compelling as temperatures cool. Ideal for dates, social events, or a confident, office-appropriate scent with a memorable finish.

Practical tips for best results
- Apply to pulse points (wrists, neck, behind the ears) and allow the fragrance to bloom with your body heat.
- Store away from direct sunlight to preserve the aromatic balance of bergamot and vanilla.
- Consider a light, complementary body lotion in a matching or neutral scent to subtly enhance the vanilla and musk notes.
