The Dana brand draws its name from Greek mythology. Danae was Perseus' mother and was a symbol of immense beauty. This fragrance brand has its origins dating back to 1932. Although the company first began in Spain, it relocated in 1940 to the United States. In the beginning, the brand had a strong focus on developing prestige perfumes, but now, the company is dedicated to manufacturing mass market items. The brand has also obtained licenses for several other perfume houses. In 1994, the brand was acquired by Renaissance Cosmetics. Ambush is great to wear morning, noon or night. All products are original, authentic name brands. We do not sell knockoffs or imitations.

it's a 'trip' back to 1965!
AH, AMBUSH= my friend Diane and I rallied up in the high school cafeteria before classes and sprayed ourselves liberally especially an extra squirt on our poofed up teased hair! Then,. of course, our black lace stockings at the backs of our knees! The hitch is that this offering does not smell as heavy and spicey as in the day! We probably stunk up the whole third floor every morning!!

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Big bottle of pleasure
Perfume in large bottle, poured into a hand like retro perfumes. It's nostalgia!
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Evocative
I gave Ambush as a gift. It usually takes a few minutes but the scent improves with body heat. It is not "weak" so much as it is understated. Adding more won't improve the scent on you, but it is truly a mesmerizing aroma. It is not musty, but it calls to mind elms and oaks and other woodsy settings. Think of it this way; imagine eating some subtle yet flavorful cheese and grapes. Now imagine eating those within a grove of redwoods.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

The old forumla was better
I wore both Ambush and Tabu in the 60s, and enjoyed both scents. I still wear Tabu, but I am not impressed with the reformulated Ambush scent. The old formula was so much better. Please Dana, bring back the old formula and let US decide wich we want!
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Not what I expected
I was not too impressed that I didn't receive what was shown in the picture. I LOVE the smell of Ambush as I used to wear it in high school but it's a real pain not having a spray bottle.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

WOW
This cheapy is a power pack of overtly sexual and heady notes. It is quiet but insistent.

A Lot for Less
The price was unbelievable for the amount of ounces contained in the bottle. I remembered this fragrance from long ago, but it doesn't smell as good as I thought it used to. It is too weak and must be frequently reapplied. I plan to order a different one next time.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Answer to 55 from Texas & others
I worked for Dana Perfumes for 33 years in the compounding dept from 1963 until 1997. The original Ambush cologne was a compaion product to mens Canoe colgne. They are the exact Fragrance, but Ambush is heavier for women. Sometime in the early 1990s, the powers that be came with up with idea too make a new fragrence for Ambush. I told them I didn't think that was a good idea, but they new better. The new fragrence was very nice, but should have had new name. Needless to say both products suffered. If you want the old Ambush buy mens Canoe cologne and put it on a heavier.

Amazing value for an amazing perfume
Considering the size, this has to be the best value perfume I have ever bought from this site. Amazing smell, although not quite as good as Tabu (nothing can beat that), but this is a very close second. Only bad thing is that the bottle is not the same as in the picture.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

It is what it is
Didn't expect it to come in a big bottle, was thinking a little spray bottle, but it was a good deal for the amount, and the price I paid. I thought this scent was discontinued, so I was pretty happy to find it here :)
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Not really Ambush
I was led to believe by your ad that this Ambush was the one Dana introduced in 1955. I started using it as a teen in the 60's and loved it. In the mid 90's Dana reformulated it, some idiot fired for New Coke no doubt came up with this incredibly stupid idea. In just about 2 years the brand died. I predicted this but no one at Dana listened. I was so thrilled when I saw your ad. The bottle looked like the original bottle. So, I ordered. I knew almost instantly it was the "roach spray" and not the classically beautiful fragrance. The bottle did not look anything like the original bottles with the pink top and not like what was shown (classic bottle) in your ad. I tried it and asked my sons and husband and niece. "No," they all said, "doesn't smell like you used to always smell." So I called and the young lady admitted it was the "reformulated" kind. Today I called again to see where exactly to mail the bottle. I was told and I quote, "We are just an outlet store, we have no way of knowing what version of the fragance it is." Really??? So, tough cookies, Kid and by the way, it cost almost 8 dollars to return. Well, unless I get some sort of recompense for being misled we will part company. I would order other fragrances for family and friends and that was my plan but my plan now, is to make Fragrances X an X shopping site.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Poor Imitation
"Reformulated" is an understatement.This fragrance is nothing like the original AMBUSH that I have been using for years. The only way to describe it is a poor imitation!!!!!!!!
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Modern?
I was trying to restock my original Ambush and find the reformulated version not to my liking, though one son (30) on whom i tested it liked this one better (I said he could give the bottle to his girlfriend). The other (28) like the original, he said it was "spicier." Can neither recommend nor criticize: it's just not for me.

Packaging sells
The bottle is not the original spray bottle (it's not even a spray bottle at all), nor is it the bottle that's pictured on the website. I'm quite disappointed with that, but over all the perfume itself is delicious. I love the scent, just as I remembered it.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

1971
On a whim I checked for Ambush on your website. I used to wear this in high school. In fact back then I was able to get it in a solid form a 2 inch in diameter stick maybe 5 inches tall wrapped in foil in a decorative bottle. Looking at all the descriptive scents about it and they are things i still love today. So excited to be able to find it again!!!

Quite nice
Great value for every day. I purchased this in a batch of samples plus the awful Replique gift set. Very pleasant.I love the 15ml sample. All samples should be 15 ml so you get a feel for the fragrance.

Love it!
I have used this cologne for more than 20 years. I get many compliments but my favorite one was from my grandaughter (age 5 at the time). While watching me get ready for work one day she asked if she could have a spray so she could "smell nice like grandma".

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
