About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Peruvian Ambrette by Ermenegildo Zegna, launched in 2014, is a woody aromatic fragrance for men. The composition opens with a dense, textured blend: ambrette (musk mallow), cashmere wood, orris, guaiac wood, suede, musk, bergamot, black pepper, and Italian mandarin. This unusual structure places the base and heart notes upfront, creating a seamless, enveloping scent from the first spray. The result is a musky, woody, and softly powdery aroma with a distinct iris and citrus facet. The ambrette seed lends a vegetal, slightly sweet musk that feels natural and refined, while suede and cashmere wood add a plush, tactile quality. Bergamot and mandarin provide a fleeting brightness, and black pepper contributes a subtle spice. This fragrance suits collectors who appreciate musk-forward compositions with a woody backbone and a powdery iris touch. It is ideal for mature men seeking a sophisticated, office-friendly scent with moderate projection and longevity. Its discontinued status makes it a sought-after piece for those who enjoy unique, textured masculines.

Market reference & verification
Price ranges are compiled from our own recorded transactions, not from asking prices.
A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
