I feel this is a highly underrated fragrance from Profumum Roma. Its truly a beautiful and uplifting scent. The Pear note brightens it up. Definitely a high quality light fragrance.
Аленка – :
Possibly inspired by the mythical Greek ambrosia, Profumum Dambrosia involves an unusual mix of pear, grape, fig, almond, and sandalwood. So in principle it should mostly be fruity with some slight sharp nuttiness and some woods to bring everything down to earth.
The fruity notes predictably, and perhaps appropriately, dominate this fragrance, as expected from its inspiration, ambrosia, usually portrayed as being fruit-dominant.
It leans feminine but is still largely what I’d consider unisex, as with most of Profumum’s offerings, and as with most other Profumums, it performs very well, so there’s that.
Still, I find Dambrosia largely unfocused and hard to wrap my head around. It’s surely worth trying, though, as with almost all of Profumum’s entries.

I expected ‘ambrosia’, I guess in error. Not as gourmand as I would have thought, nor as sweet.

It is said that the fig tree gives two fruits a year, and that none of these is really a fruit … It is then a magical “fruit”, which possesses the quality of keeping its flowers inside.
I grew up with the scent of the fig tree in my grandmother’s house and I enjoyed to rest under its shade, around there were also almonds, plums and many flowers.
This perfume transports me to that happy time, with its magical naturalness, I can almost taste the milky taste of the first few breams next to the breeze of the almond trees and the sweet aroma of the fig honey that my grandmother used to prepare to eat at the time Of the tea next to the bread with butter. The dry wood next to the fire, and I do not know what of something humid and deep that gives to this masterpiece, a special place in my collection.
Maybe it is not the most sexy or popular scent, but for me it smells like heaven and happiness in a bottle. Wonderful!

Eight months later: my second review. I absolutely like it!!!! No more tanning lotion effect on my skin, but a woody warm fig. Gorgeus and feminine, I like it as much as I like Philosykos, but P is green and fresh.

Very warm fuzzy figgy sandalwood. I love it. Not sure if I have to have it as I have a few sandalwood dominant fragrances, but this sure is temting and a wrist sniffer at its best.
Super creamy , super milky , woody and warm. I love sandalwood and figs together , really charming and soft , the almonds add a gourmand note and the pears and grapes keep this happy and fruity in a way.
Main notes are definitly sandalwood and figs.
This is a sandalwood nominant fragrance.

No good chemistry on my skin: it smells like sun body lotion 🙁

I have tried every fig scent I know of, from Dyptique, Annick Goutal and L’Artisan to Laurence Dumont and Pacifica. This, to me, is by far the best. In general, I am not a big fan of fig based scents, but I do love sandalwood and almond, which mellow what can be sharp and less than feminine in fig notes. I appreciate the slightly “coconutty” essence in this particular fig scent, and the pear adds a soft sweetness without the stickiness of a vanilla base. The sandalwood is just prominent enough and remains through the dry down with a sweet, ripe fig note. In my opinion, no matter how wonderful a scent may be, it is not worth the time or money if it lacks longevity. This is well made, sufficiently concentrated and has great staying power! Worth the pretty penny!

I love fig, and I love sandalwood, so I was expecting a nice woody fig to add to my fig library of fragrances. Unfortunately, I got a scrubber instead. The pear and fig rendered the opening of this fragrance overpoweringly sweet. Unfortunately, things got worse from there. This sugar-bomb achieved official scrubber status after the first few minutes, when the stabby sandalwood made its appearance. I realize that the overharvest and consequent rarity of Mysore sandalwood has forced perfumers to use lesser varieties and even similar species passed off as sandalwood; whatever the ‘sandalwood’ used in Dambrosia, its effect is a relentlessly cheap, sharp, oily, and pungent unpleasantness that fights to the bitter end with the sugary sweetness of the opening notes.
It’s rare that I can find nothing at all to appreciate in a fragrance, but after 3 chances to find anything, I can honestly say that I find Dambrosia dreadful. I will say that Profumum knows how to do a good fig, as their Ichnusa is a stellar take on green and woody fig; sadly, Dambrosia was a supremely disappointing followup to that masterpiece.

Fruity, rich and languorous Arabian beauty. One of my favorite fig fragrances. Are you sure there’s no oud or rose in this?

100)Je dois reconnaitre que ce parfum n’est pas un chef-d’oeuvre de composition, qu’il a 5 notes maximum et qu’il est très sucré…mais qu’es que je l’aime!
La figue verte et le santal boisé sont adouci par l’amande et un sirop de poire et de raisin. En été c’est juste un allez simple pour le plaisir, c’est beau comme une nature morte du Caravage.
C’est avec Le Figuier de Heeley mon parfum à la figue préféré.

I was expecting to love this from the notes. All I can smell is a plasticky doll scent, really off putting. Maybe it’s the almond, but where are the other notes?? Maybe I got a bad sample? So disappointed but will be keeping my sample around to test again in a few months.
Edit ages later:
This is mainly sandalwood on me, hence my original plasticky sense, the fig pear and almond are really hiding from me. I just get hints now and then.

Oh boy, this is so, so sweet on my skin. It’s unbearable. I agree with Miss Guerlain – very similar to L’Artisan’s Figuer Extreme. It has the same creamy quality that I recognise in so many fig fragrances.
It also reminds me a little of Byredo’s Pulp. In my opinion they both suggest rotting fruit, with all the cloying, syrupy fluids.
I have found the same problem with many of Profumum Roma’s perfumes. Several of them share this thick, sweet base. Vanilla seems to be something of a common theme with this house, in much the same way other reviewers write of Guerlain.
If you ever find yourself telling a sales assistant that you don’t mind sweet as long as it’s not *too* sweet, my advice is to tread very carefully with Profumum Roma!
Sorry, thumbs down on this one.

I had higher expectations of this one- I smell almonds, something fruity, and liquid foundation on a face beneath a sky-high beehive- perfect for Marge Simpson.

I smelled it the first time on a friend of mine…..it lasted all the day, even if I didn’t wear it!!!
at the end of the day, I HAD to ask to her wich perfume was it. it is an oversmelling perfume, this is my opinion. if you like figue and pear, that’s definitely your perfume! It last for hours, really!

In ancient Greek mythology Ambrosia was nectar drunk by the Gods. And there is a breeze of divinity in Dambrosia too. 🙂
Impeccable and deeply luxurious like most Profumum fragrances, although flawless, this one is also quite vivacious and sparkling. It seems to be more about enjoyment than about exhibiting opulence.
The zesty, zingy juice is dripping from the heavenly ripe, naturally sweet fruit, the almonds chime through with a touch of bitterness and the airy sandalwood provides elegant, light but steady frame.
Dambrosia is like a sunny morning in an orchard. Easy, lazy, fragrant, the grass is saturated in dew – sparkling in the sunshine -, birds are singing, bees buzzing and the day is full of promises. 🙂

A deeper woody version of L’Artisan Figuer Extreme (but with tons more staying-power!!). Starts of with an entre of pear and crushed almonds on green ripe figs (i’d love to eat that as an entre – yum!!). Then it settles down to a fresh incense-like sandalwood, while the entre of figs turns way way darker, with a brown sugar sweetness. This is not that super-fresh stingy PHILOSYKOS kind of figue (which I really dislike) – it’s a mature, sweet developed sandal-incense figue, way way more luxurious!! I REALLY love it! Aaaah 🙂
