Colonia Ambra by Acqua di Parma is recognized by the community as containing real ambergris, which the brand confirmed in direct communication. However, community members note the ambergris is subtle in the composition and not strongly noticeable to most wearers. The fragrance is appreciated as versatile and fresh for warmer seasons.

Chergui is a well-crafted but divisive fragrance with a distinctive powdery tobacco profile that appeals strongly to its admirers but isn't universally loved. The community consensus leans positive overall, though most agree it's not a safe blind buy given its niche character and high price point, recommending sampling first, especially if coming from different fragrance families like Ambre Sultan.
