Ambush original Dana for women

For a drugstore-chain scent, this one smelled surprisingly good - not a typical "cheap" perfume smell. Shame they changed the modern formula, since the original was quite nice.

Ambush: Teased hair & Cleopatra eyes,innocence and hopefulness, a "grown-up" fragrance for young baby-boomer girls. A one-of-a-kind fragrance for a one-of-a-kind time.

It was a joyous fragrance in the original compliation. And probably started my love affair with a powdery dry-down with lingering jasmine. Pure romance.

Today I think it'd be a unisex fragrance IF one could find an original. Interestingly, for me, Zizanie for men(also re-popular at that time) WAS very similar. It, too underwent reformulation and is now a disappointment.

I've never found anything like Ambush; and probably it should remain frozen in time. Iconic.

One of the smells of my adolescence. I also remember the wonderful Montag stationery that was scented with ambush; there was also a very faint sketch of a woman looking through a bush on the paper.

I just got a mini-bottle of Canoe, and it does smell a lot like I remember my old Ambush, in the pink bottle, smelling, back in the 'sixties, when I was in High School.

Vintage EDP and skin perfume oil

Woody, hebalicious, and faintly animalic. Great stuff. I have the EDP and the skin perfume oil. The EDP has this kind of soapyness in the background that fades after a while. The skin perfume oil is just the scent and concentrated. If you can, buy the skin perfume oil. This very unisex.

This was a perfume that my mother and her mother wore. I remember sniffing this as a child and thinking it was very magical. There is also something amazing about the packaging (the three-sectioned glass bottle is a classic design,) and the name itself has always fascinated me. I saw an ad from a 50's magazine that shows a gorgeous woman waiting behind a palm branch, the shadows of the thin leaves falling mysteriously over her face, waiting to 'abmush' the man that was coming along the path - really showed the animalistic side to the perfume more than I had thought of before.

I just bought a vintage bottle of this from a seller on ebay because I'd like to relive the memory, and I'm starting to collect vintage scents, and I know this is still held by many to be a classic.

People who can't find this perfume-I'm a very nice person. i know where you can get an original! :D Iv'e never tried it before,but the way commenters describe and the bottle looks you need to check it out! go to perfumespot.com You can buy it there. To get free shipping you need to spend 79.00. So if you enjoy certain perfumes make sure you get the best deals. Compare them to ebay -lol.I hope this was usefull-for 12.00 and shipping 5dollars by itself, thts pretty good for a 7.75oz bottle. :D

Don't be fooled. The new one smells nothing like the original. Such a shame - I wore it for years and can't seem to find anything else I like as much.

The bottle shown looks like the bottle to the reinvented Ambush, which is nothing like Ambush.

In my youth, I liked this so much too!

I would love to know if anyone can tell me if the original is still around. I wore this as a teenage in the '50's & '60s and loved it. A very nostolgic scent, but only if it is the orig. Anyone know???

oh i love this scent. spicy, warm, woody. i want this again and have to find it. who didn't love this???

My vintage perfume collection could not be complete until I found the original Dana Ambush. It had to be the spray in the pink poly-like rubenesque bottle with the gold tone cap and label. Well at last my search is over for this throw back to the 60's sentimental scent, as it arrived yesterday. The thrill of the first spritz was a blast of good memories. It overflowed with it's floral woody essence just as I remembered. Laced with lavender and just enough jasmine with a pop of orchid, but it's solely the musk that works this baby! When wearing this scent the soothing and casual qualities of the sweet yet some what powdery musk performs in full force that lingers on leaving you in a state of satisfaction. No case of anosmia in this blend of musk choices. Following close behind and wrapping up this composition is a pinch of patchouli which warms up the the ending phase to perfection. This nostalgic baby boomer favorite will forever and ever amen be one of my all time cherished treasures.

Ambush underwent a change. I don't know why because the original Ambush smelled lovely. It's a scent from my childhood that I miss. I don't think Ambush is around anymore. I hope Dana brings back the *real* Ambush someday.

THIS HAS BEEN AROUND FOREVER!!! Nice scent but I would never ware it again. It's along the lines of Ciara, that type of woodsy scent and this one is sweet too.

WHY WAS IT TAKEN OFF THE SHELVES A FRIEND BOUGHT ME AN AMBUSH A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO IT'S NOT THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL FROM THE SIXTIES, WHY WON'T THEY BRING IT BACK

Soft and powdery. What a "lady" would wear. Not something typically sexy, but quietly flirty I think.

Is the Ambush shown above exactly the same smell as the Ambush I started wearing in 1966 and wore for thirty years,or until you stopped making it. My son used to get it for me every Christmas, and was very dissapointed when it was discontinued. My daughter asked me,"How will I know how you smell now?" PLEASE I want my old Ambush back!!!!!!!!

I used to love this as a child. It's soft and pretty, with a slightly dusty dry down similar to scents of this era.

This one I got when I was maybe 10? I kinda forgot what it smelled like but remember using it so I must of liked it.
