Designer Perfume Sample Appraisal

Ambush Perfume Mini / Sample Vial

This item is identified as a mini or sample vial of 'Ambush' perfume. The vial is cylindrical with vertical fluting or ridges around its clear glass body. It contains a dark amber-colored liquid, which is presumably the perfume, filled to approximately two-thirds of its capacity. The top of the vial is covered by a red, rectangular cap with beveled edges, giving it a somewhat pointed or tapered appearance at the top. The word 'Ambush' is printed in a stylized, cursive white font on the side of this red cap. The overall size appears small, consistent with a sample or travel size. There are no visible markings beyond the 'Ambush' name. The glass appears to be in good condition without chips or cracks, and the label on the cap is clear and legible. Based on typical perfume packaging and historical context, 'Ambush' is a well-known fragrance, suggesting this could be a vintage or retro sample. The simplicity of the design, particularly the fluted glass and colored cap, is characteristic of perfume samples from several decades ago. There are no specific manufacturing dates or maker's marks visible in the image, but the style points towards a classic fragrance. The lack of a spray mechanism suggests it's a dab-on or splash type sample.
