Smells great once it settles down. The opening is challenging to say the least. I totally understand references to nursing homes and homeless people and bacterial decay. It’s weird though because I don’t find the resemblence offensive. With real life rotten smells (like a rotting tooth or a porta potty) I am absolutely repulsed by these smells. But in perfume I find them fascinating, even appetizing (this and Salome by Papillon). I can’t quite decide if I need a full bottle of this but it’s a new favorite and I think the key to pulling it off is putting it on atleast 15 minutes before you leave the house.

Hell yes! I love animalic scents, especially the smell of a handsome young man’s armpit that comes across in a properly balanced cumin note. But all too often, animalic perfumes push the opposite end of the spectrum with over the top vintage rose accords and tinges of ivory soap. You have to enjoy an old fashioned grand dame perfume to get your nose on the funky stuff in a sort of balancing of polar opposites. But 50 ml d’ambiguite delivers on the dirty notes alone. They’re still refined and smoothed out into a gorgeous and wearable, dark and sexy fragrance. But it’s a feast for us animalic scent pervs. Heaven sent! Don’t let Luca Turin and other wusses lead you astray! This is sex in a bottle.

Sexual harassment in a bottle. Unlike L’animal Sauvage, which is on the verge of too extreme but still interesting enough to be worn, this is pure poison. It smells like an old hairy men that hasn’t washed his body and mouth in weeks or a dead horse. It is repulsive, and it won’t wash off your skin so make sure not to make any contact with this horror. Made me want to puke, simple as that. It also gave me a panic attack.

With this on, I don’t think anyone would ask “Oh, what ‘perfume’ are you wearing??” It is like a human’s scent in a bottle. I was searching for it. I love it more than any other perfume I have or have smelled so far because it registers to the nose like something absolutely natural. Nothing artificial or perfumey.
Longevity is thankfully more than satisfying, reaching 10-12 hours consistently. Up until the 10th hour, I detect it on me without trying.
Really happy I found it 😀

Not bad considering today’s soft white musks politically correct fragrances. so it gats points just for that, I don’t think I can pull this one off.

So amusing!! I like this perfume because of exactly the same reasons lgsoltek didn’t like it. Yes the perfume reminds me of my body odor of which i haven’t washed a day or two. I admit it’s dirty and sometimes I find it attractive.
The perfume smells woody sometimes. It is woody but not kind of forest. It reminds of aged quaint Korean traditional wooden table painted with laquer tree extract.
This is really good applied on wool sweater or muffler in cold winter.

I thought I could like highly animalic scents. Turns out I couldn’t. Frankly, to me this is the most disgusting smell I’ve ever smelled, only after Sécrétions Magnifiques.
Cumin provides the impression of someone with heavy body odour who hasn’t bathed in days. Castoreum gives a dirty public toilet urinous smell. Add those to the stink of unwashed oily hair from costus.
My personal perception of course. You might like it if you’re into strongly animalic dirty perfumes, but I’d never recommend blind buying this.

So many feelings from this one…
I’m exploring animalics, and of the samples I received this was the most “body” like. It smelled like straight piss when I first put it on around 4 pm. Immediately after application, my dog reacted by making eye contact and putting his snout in the air giving several marked sniffs. Real talk.
I was really intrigued by the description- “elegant, quaint, unnerving”. Incongruent descriptors. Here is my take on how at least two of those work.
Quaint: d’ambiguite had a note through its early phase that smelled liked a lambs wool teddy bear I had as child. Seems pretty quaint. Webster’s dictionary also describes quaint as being attractively unusual… This perfume smells like poorly performing deodorant, gentle body funk overcoming “good” smells. I like it, though.
Unnerving: It reminds me of the type of person who laughs uninhibitedly, drinks wine freely. It reminds me of the summer, when intimate smells become more pronounced due to fewer clothes and heat. It takes me to a more carefree time in my life, when there were less harsh realities, fewer obligations. I wouldn’t trade where I am now to go back, but this perfume reminds me I can always visit.
If it’s elegant, it’s because the composition is so well done. Ignoring the initial urinous note that comes on strong, the composition is expertly balanced throughout. Ambiguite never smells bad or grotesque. Intimate and familiar odors are celebrated deftly.
As far as longevity, 7 hours in it’s dried down but still very present. (I also woke up with it faintly lingering on my wrists the next day). The cumin has largely tapered off and incense, animalics, and ylang ylang remain. Not a lot of projection/sillage from the application as a sample, however I have l’animal sauvage from the same house and the bottle sprays are generous and fan out. It projects much better with that application.
Edit: also works well as an animalic base to layer with perfumes that need a special kick.

Animalic
This is quite animalic, very animalic of cumin as a dominant note beside castoreum, ylang & incense. It’s a bit sour, yet peppery and spicy in general.
It’s definitely not for any occasion as i think it’s good for a fetish session 🙂 but be careful “DO NOT APPLY MORE THAN ONE SPRAY” because it might gets irritating if your partner likes to sniff some animalic accord rather than too much, the less the better.
