Ambergris has long been revered as one of the most precious materials in classical perfume, owing to its beguiling complexity. Musky, marine and earthy, this digestive byproduct of the sperm whale is known as “floating gold”. Veiled Ambergris unfolds on an abstracted bouquet of plum blossom, gardenia and rose, made more insinuating with the overripeness of mimosa. Gradually, ambergris makes itself known, its animalic resonance deepened with musk and castoreum.
Perfumer: Jin Yongshan
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An unhurried afternoon in a white cotton shirt, absorbed in a book while conversation carries softly from the next room. The cool floral veil keeps the mood restrained; earthy, musky warmth gives that restraint an intimate, less conventional edge.
How to wear
Try it in mild spring or autumn weather, when the cool flowers and warmer musky facets can sit in balance. Begin with one or two sprays on skin and let the opening settle before adding more. Wearing it beneath a light layer suits its veiled, intimate character.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to transparent florals with an unconventional underside: gardenia and rose without a purely romantic register, and marine, earthy musk rather than sweetness. It suits a pared-back aesthetic that leaves room for subtle animalic texture.

NuWilds’s story
NuWilds approaches fragrance through its “Wild & Wander” philosophy, following familiar plants, places, foods and everyday experiences into unexpected sensory associations. With roots in botanical specimens and design, the Shanghai house treats scent as a medium for stories, objects and installations.
Veiled Ambergris’s concept
Veiled Ambergris explores the contrast between cool flowers and warm, animalic depth. Frost-associated plum blossom and gardenia open an abstract bouquet, while rose and ripe mimosa soften the transition toward ambergris and a velvety musk finish. Its concept is contemplative rather than overtly dramatic.
Extra info
Veiled Ambergris is also listed under the Chinese name 云淡 and comes in a 30 ml bottle. Ambergris and castoreum appear in its published scent descriptions, but those note names do not establish whether animal-derived materials are used.
