  • KATE02/26/2011

    Does anyone know where to obtain original Ambush in Australia? I am sensitive to chemicals and cannot wear perfume, but think I could wear original Ambush. Anyone similar?

  • BETSY09/20/2010

    Hi! Could you please tell me where you bought the original scent of Ambush?

  • CAROL05/24/2010

    I found the Original Ambush at "the fragrance factory" thank you

  • ANNIKA02/18/2010

    The original Ambush I was given was a parfum. In the late 60's .Came in a tiny bottle and such exotic scents . Is this available . I have not seen it since .The Ambush by Dana as viewed on the website does not seem to be the same.

  • TERRI B.12/31/2009

    Why can't I find the original Ambush anywhere? The new perfume I bought here is NOT Ambush! Ambush is my signature scent, and I cannot find it anywhere!

  • JIL11/16/2009

    I found some Original Ambush!! and its wonderful, but you better hurry they said they would be out soon! try the fragrance factory they have it, Yes Yes Thank you!

  • ROSE09/01/2009

    I HAVE A SMALL BOTTLE OF ORIGINAL I AM SAVORING. DONNA, WHERE DID YOU GET YOURS? PLEASE

  • NORMA07/14/2009

    Canoe does indeed smell like the orginal Ambush,just with more alchohol. I take the cap off to let some of the alcohol evaporate. Try Canoe you won"t be disappointed.

  • EVELYN06/27/2009

    Would like to find the old ambush I remember from the 60's. Do you know where I can purchase it. Thanks Evelyn

  • SUE11/08/2008

    Looking for the old Ambush by Coty Help ne find this for my friend. Thank You

  • DIANE10/12/2008

    Oh please please please, bring back that awsome scent and I swear I'll be the happiest woman in the world

  • DALE 09/22/2008

    Does anyone know where you can buy the old version of AMBUSH! I would love to be able to buy several bottles of the original AMBUSH by DANA. I wore this all through high school and when I met my husband, I was wearing "Ambush" and he loved it, too. The "new" version is a strong harsh smell and it stinks. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it. Thanks!

  • FLOYETTA06/26/2008

    I bought what I thought was the Ambusg Cologne I remember from my youth. However, the new Ambush absolutely stinks!!! Please, please bring back the old Ambush fragrance.

  • VIVIAN04/19/2008

    They change the scents to save money. Now they use synthetics-- which can make you sick--headaches, nausea. Bring back the old, we would pay the price--we want the originals!!

  • KEN12/09/2007

    My wife and I are looking for the original Ambush for her mother. Since we don't know what to look for, can anyone offer some guidance on the right one to buy? We have seen that Canoe smells the same and heard that the "new" Ambush is not the same as the old. We're becoming confused. Thanks, in advance, for any guidance.

  • LEIGH12/13/2006

    Yes.... I want to know where you got the orignial ambush? Thank you.

  • LAURA 12/12/2006

    Bought me some Canoe today YES it smells like the old Ambush from years gone by!

  • LAURA12/06/2006

    Donna if you are still around let me know how you got the old Ambush! All I have is a empty bottle for years now loll

  • ISADORA10/12/2006

    When I was in high school in the 1960s, the girls wore Ambush and the boys wore Canoe, and they both smelled the same.

  • ANN10/09/2006

    Please share with me where you found the wonderful original Ambush. Thanks! Ann

  • MART06/07/2006

    Arleen, You are right, Canoe does smell like Ambush. So now that's it. Since we can't get the old, if you want the smell of the old Ambush, buy Canoe.

  • ARLEEN02/28/2006

    I agree that canoe smells the same as ambush. If thats available try and smell some. You will see also.

  • JEANI02/27/2006

    WHERE did you find the old Ambush. PLEASE tell me!!! I've been on the hunt for years!!! I refuse to pay ebays prices!!! Thank You

  • CHER01/16/2006

    So sorry but I love the new stuff...never knew about the old until I ordered it by mistake and it was truely awful. I've only been wearing Ambush for about 7 years and I love the new Ambush!!

  • KIM WELLER01/06/2006

    Where did you find it? I found it a year ago at a flea market in Sarasota, FL, I sent my sister go get me some more now they are out

  • MART12/28/2005

    Oh no! Have you gotten the stench off you yet? LOL I was thinking of giving the bottle I have as a present. To my worst enemy!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROFL!!

  • KATHY12/09/2005

    Too late! I sprayed this junk on and couldn't wash it off. It was just plain sickening. Can't imagine why any one would wear this..Oh??? It was even worse than Casmir and Arpege and that is BAD!!!!BAD!!! OH, I shouldn't forget about Absolu...BAD!!!!

  • MART11/29/2005

    I was looking again since my original source doesn't seem to carry the old ambush anymore, and people are trying to rob us! I saw one little bottel for $160.00 Ya know, I talked to ambush once a couple of years ago about going back to the original formula, and they said no way! Boy are they stupid or what? BTW, for the lady that said she bought the new version and said it stunk from the bottle, don't put it on, you'll never be able to wash off that stench! LOL

  • KATHY11/14/2005

    I finally gave this one a try after purchasing it several weeks ago, I am sorry that I did. I have attempted to wash this off of my wrist twice and unfortunatly, I can still smell it. This is a cheap fruity scent that reminds me of a 70'ish affordable high school girl scent..nothing romantic or sexy about this fragrance.I can not imagine a grown woman wearing this at all..This one has the potential to induce severe nausea.

  • SUZIE JAMERSON (INDPLS., INDIANA)10/31/2005

    Manufacturers can do anything they want, even bring back the OLD Ambush!!! Bring back the memories for all of us......Ambush lives forever!!!!! and Bless You for bringing it back!!!!

  • KATHY10/25/2005

    I hope the original smells better than this does. I recieved it yesterday along with Arpege, Casmir and Absolu. I am still recovering from the extreme nausea that I suffered from the other 3 sickening scents. The Ambush smells real bad just from sniffing the bottle, might get up the courage to try some in a couple of days though.

  • MARY JO10/18/2005

    I too want the Original Fragrance back. This new stuff is so heavy and overpowering. The original was light and soft. Oh the Memories that fragrance holds for me. Bring it back Dana, you won't be able to keep the shelves stocked.

  • CINTYA08/23/2005

    please tell me were to get the real ambush i first bought it when i was 16 yrs old and i love it

  • LINDA RHODES08/22/2005

    I would like to know wher I can find the Original Ambush, I remember wearing it as a teen, and I still have the same husband of 34 years.

  • RONALD SPARKS08/21/2005

    Trying to find a source for those pink lids or at least some of the origal. if you can help isure would love to know

  • MIMI08/20/2005

    Ambush has been around a long time. It smells good, but doesnt last long. It smells soft, lightly sweet. A good beginner perfume for young girls.

  • DONNA 07/27/2005

    It's the best perfume ever. I've been wearing it since the early sixties. I still have a few bottles left. Men go wild.

  • DONNA07/26/2005

    I started wearing Ambush in the early sixties. I still have bottles that I have bought at dollar stores after they got rid of it. There is nothing like the smell of Ambush. I just bought two bottles.I am so glad I found it. And yes, it is the classic Ambush. If you want to know where I got it, post a message.

  • TERESA SATTERFIELD07/01/2005

    Just the other day I remember how much I loved the smell of the ambush fragrance as my dates did also. Thought I would go in search of some this week to find these revolting results! Where is the originao??????????

  • FAYE06/28/2005

    Please bring back the old ambush. The new smells so bad, I could not even give it away. I always got so many compliments on the old ambush. I think your company is losing a lot of money.

  • ANDREA05/27/2005

    PLEASE, please bring back our favorit perfume ambush. No other perfume is like it and I got millions of comments on how good it smelled.

  • DAYLE05/15/2005

    I too recently purchased Ambush only to feel ambushed!!! I CANNOT find a Dana website to ask why it has changed. Glad to know I am not crazy & there are many of us who would like them to return to the product we loved. Please post if anyone finds a way to "get Dana our message". THANKS.

  • LIZ MCCARTNEY05/05/2005

    Please, please bring back the original Ambush. The new fragrance is nothing like the real thing! What do we have to do to get the old Ambush back?????? The new stuff is so-so at best.

  • Stumbled across this message board. I see I am not the only one who has been seeking Dana Co. and trying to find ambush

  • DEDE02/24/2005

    I have a tiny bottle of Ambush oil from 1974 and it smells great. Why do these compaines change formulas. Look at what DEP did to Agree Shampoo!!

  • ANNA MARIE02/19/2005

    What do I have to say to get them to bring back the old Ambush scent???? There's never been anything quite like it...heady and bothersome to men (in a sexy way)....

  • D. STOCK01/04/2005

    I'M 55 AND I AM TRYING TO BUY MY WIFE THE SCENT WORN BY MANY OF THE GIRLS DURING MY HIGH SCHOOL YEARS (LATE 60'S). I HAD TO TRACK DOWN SOME OF THE GIRLS I GRADUATED WITH IN ORDER TO GET THE NAME OF THE PERFUME. IT WAS AMBUSH AND NOW I UNDERSTAND THE FRAGRANCE HAS CHANGED; WHAT A SHAME. I HOPE THE COMPANY REINTRODUCES THE OLD STUFF.

  • JEAN01/01/2005

    Does Dana have a Website. If they do, maybe if enough of us flood it with requests for our old Ambush. They might re-consider making it. I feel they cheated us by using the same name and using a completely different formula. This new stuff is not even remotely close to the original. And I tried deception not even close.

  • JEAN01/01/2005

    Hate the new ambush. Think Dana is losing alot of money. We baby boomers are becoming the biggest consumers. Anyone know where I can get the original Ambush. Been using it since I was 13.

  • JUNE12/25/2004

    I've always loved ambush perfume,I used to wear it all the time till I was told pharmacy were not stocking it anymore.I'm still trying to track it down but only the original

  • LIZ BALDWIN12/23/2004

    please bring back the old ambush i started using it when i was 15, and necer really liked any orther perfume.

  • MARIE12/17/2004

    I have not tried any new Ambush. I used to get it at the local pharmacy in 1967-68. Thus, I have been checking pharmacies for the product. Now reading that Ambush is a new fragrance was a total heartbreak. I can remember wearing Ambush in highschool and several years after. I changed to another fragrance and lost track of Ambush. Now I have been looking for it because I recalled how much I loved the fragrance in the years around 1967. So I am with the people who want the old fragrance back.

  • SPALADY12/08/2004

    I received my first bottle of Ambush from my Boyfriend in 1966. We were both 15. We are now 53. I found him 2 years ago via the internet and we just got married 3 months ago. He was going to get me Ambush again and imagine our surprise when I found this site. We were very dissappointed to find it no longer exist. This site saved him from making a mistake and buying the new stuff which would have allowed Dana to make more money by duping people. Thanks

  • DOROTHY12/08/2004

    I recently found my bottle that was put away. Ambush was the only colonge I was wearing when I meet my third husband and he's still here. He asked that I purchase more to wear for our 30th anniversary but, if the secent has changed then I will stay with the White Diamonds I have used in recent years (ps) I will still keep my husband.

  • ANSIE12/07/2004

    Hallo I am from South Africa and I would like to know if you still have this parfume available here by us and in which state

  • SHARON11/22/2004

    I am extremely disappointed that we can no longer obtain that wonderful scent that brought back cherished memories of our adolescence and teenage courtships. I had a partial bottle of perfume (which smelled even better than the cologne) for years that I kept for romantic occasions. Men of our vintage LOVED Ambush! Dana is missing a huge marketing opportunity to bring back the old version to us boomers who have never found a scent to replace our favorite. No, the new one doesn't come close. It is like trying to pass off a Neon as a 57" Chevy.

  • YAVONNE/ LADYOFLOWER10/09/2004

    I started using Ambush in High School, I felt so sexy!--wearing it. There has never been a fragrance for me like Ambush! I can't find Ambush in my area. Everyone that knew I had Ambush on, thought it was the perfect fragrance for me!

  • INDERIKA09/28/2004

    It's very fruity smelling, so I think it is better for use in the summer. It's one of the better, lesser expensive scents.

  • SONYA03/27/2004

    It's a nice summer scent. It has a very similar makeup to some of the popular new fruity escada perfumes. I do get compliments when I wear it. I wouldn't want to wear it every day though.

  • CORRINE02/08/2004

    Why in the world did Dana change this cologne when it had so many long-time, dedicated users? It is the greatest. The new version doesn't even touch it. Why didn't they call the new version something else and leave Ambush alone?

  • Years have gone by since I last used the original Ambush, yet the true aroma lingers in my memory, never to be forgotten. Everyone makes mistakes and it truly would be a mistake to not bring back the original Ambush. Awaken not only my memory but my arotic sence of smell by returning the original Ambush to the courts of female judgement so that the young woman of today may experiance a true Ambush. PLEASE!

  • VICKI AMERAULT01/07/2004

    Now I know Im not crazy, I have looked all over the world for the old ambush,couldnt find the bottle either,family think I dreamed it up.I even prayed about it, now the lord has revealed to me that I wasnt nuts ,but there was such a prefume,,,,can I get it anywhere????

  • AMBUSH LOVER12/25/2003

    I was feeling meloncholy and thouhgt of ambush. I don't know why but I did. So I went on a mission to try to find it. I went to the stores that I could always depend on having it stocked on there shelves. I found it or...at least I THOUGHT I had found it. I rushed home after I bought it and instantly ripped the bottle out of the package and blissfully sprayed...I GASPED! "This is not ambush?!" in disbelief. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT... What happened? Did somebody forget the recipe??? How can somebody put the name ambush on a bottle that wasn't? Was it legal to do that? Well... Lucky for me, I still have an ambush dusting powder and I run into the bathroom and open it and get my fix whenever I remember those feelings I miss so much...aww..those were the good ol' days...

  • JUDY12/25/2003

    I too love the "classic Ambush". I hate the new version. It smells like cotton candy on me. Who wants to smell like cotton candy?

  • MATT MATTESON12/20/2003

    hmm, a nice sweater, a plaid skirt and Ambush what a treat. Bring back that scent.

  • TRUDIE L.12/13/2003

    This smells more like watermelon than Ambush. I had a friend diligently look for and buy this garbage for me knowing how much I love it. I had to sit there and act pleased while I was in shock. There ought to be a law against changing the product without changing the label. I sure thought there was one like that. Seems to me deception in advertising. Do the people who did this read this forum? I guess not. Do they care? I guess not. I could continue ranting. I've got this piece of junk labeled with my favorite Ambush and I can't even force myself to wear it.

  • TRUDIE L.12/13/2003

    I am rating the original Ambush. I am slowly rationing my supply. I know someday I'll have to do without.

  • JESSICA D. HOWARD12/10/2003

    please bring back the original ambush. I LOVED it. The new one smells awful on my skin. But I love the one we had in 1965, I assume that was the original. You could call it "classic ambush." Please think about it. Does anyone know how to get this message to the people at dana. thanks

  • CHRISSY11/24/2003

    I'm sorry I hate to say this..because normally I do not think a scent has an age attached. But this stuff is way too old lady...its just rancid.

  • RAINFAERIE11/19/2003

    It would be preferable to charge more money for a perfume with such a loyal following than to alter the formula so that it costs less to manufacture.

  • MARTHA11/12/2003

    I have been searching for that sent. I do not like the new stuff out there and I don't understand why someone would want to change a good thing. Reminds me of the new coke and the old coke. Why mess with something that is already a great product. I even like the old bottle. What were y'all thinking. This sent snaged the best husband I ever had. Think about what you have done.

  • CYNDI KNIGHT11/12/2003

    What do we need to do to get the original Ambush back? I had worn it for over 30 years and the new stuff is awful. Additionally, from a consumer point of view -- it is nearly unethical to change the fragrance and keep the same name. Is there some place where I might still be able to buy the original? Thanks.

  • ELAINE08/07/2003

    WE WANT THE ORIGINAL 'AMBUSH" BACK!!! WE ARE NOT AT ALL HAPPY WITH THE NEW SCENT THAT YOU HAVE COME UP WITH! UGH!! :( IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE! IT SHOULD NOT BE ALL THAT DIFFICULT TO REPRODUCE THE ORIGINAL FORMULATION.... I AM A LOOONG TIME CONSUMER OF AMBUSH, TRY THE 60'S, AND NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND IT ANYWHERE AT THIS POINT IN TIME IS NOT MAKING ME A HAPPY CAMPER! WHY ARE YOU "MESSING WITH PERFECTION"? GIVE US WHAT WE WANT!!!!! A M B U S H----- O R I G I N A L

  • TOM06/10/2003

    THE OLD FRAGRANCE USED TO REALLY SET MY TEETH TO CHATTERING, HOW CAN WE GET IT BACK? THIS NEW FRAGRANCE SUCKS

  • KIM06/08/2003

    Im with everyone else at this website that doesnt understand why they changed such a great thing. Dont they realize the excellent business they could have been having through the years by keeping the original! Im in my late 20s now and remember being only in the 4th and 5th grade and the first time I wore it I accidently mashed the button on the tester bottle and couldnt shut it off and it went all over me in a drug store, my mother and I laughed all the way home and when I walked through the door at our house my dad said gosh somebody smells good! Thats my childhood memory of this wonderful perfume that I may never get to rememeber by smell! Thanks alot Dana for stealing this from me and everyone else who loved it and replacing it with something that smells like junk! Hope you are proud.

  • BIBBY05/14/2003

    TO ALL YOU LADIES OUT THERE WHO ARE FUMING OVER THE WRECK THAT DANA HAS MADE OF THEIR CLASSIC FRAGRANCE, "AMBUSH". PLEASE CALL DANA PERFUMES AT TOLL FREE NUMBER (1-800-822-8547). PLEASE LET THEM KNOW HOW UNHAPPY AND DISSATISFIED YOU ARE WITH THE NEW AMBUSH (WHICH IS NOTHING LIKE THE ORIGINAL). TELL THEM THAT YOU WANT THEM TO BRING BACK ORIGINAL AMBUSH. IF ENOUGH CUSTOMERS CLOG UP THEIR PHONE LINES WITH COMPLAINTS MAYBE THEY'LL SIT UP AND LISTEN. MAYBE THEY WILL BEGIN TO CONSIDER WHAT CUSTOMERS WANT.

  • LEE ANN05/07/2003

    I love this perfume. After going through your list and finding it, this will be my next perfume I order. You can not find this in stores. Now if you would only carry Cinnabar by Estee Lauder.

  • CHERYL03/29/2003

    I wore Ambush in the 70's and my husband loved it on me. the New Dana Ambush is disgusting. I wish they would bring back the original fragrance. Bad play Dana. You should be ashamed.

  • PAULA03/25/2003

    I just called New Dana Perfumes @ (800)822-8547 and the rep there told me that they no longer have any stock of the old Ambush left and that it is not even being considered to be reintroduced. Very sad. My mom wore Ambush from the time I was born and she just finished her last bottle.

  • OLATZ02/03/2003

    What is wrong with Dana and all these other perfume companies that take a much loved classic fragrance and mangle it beyond recognition - then - expect us to happily buy??????????? The original Ambush was one of the most sensual, sexy, grownup scents ever. Why did Dana have to destroy it? I understand that the professionals who create perfumes are referred to as "noses". In the case of the new Ambush, their "noses" must nave been broken!!!!!!

  • KAREN01/22/2003

    I love the old Ambush scent, I bought a bottle of what I thought was what I loved for a long time. Wrong. I don't like the new scent!!!

  • KAREN01/22/2003

    I can't find the old ambush anywhere, I bought a bottle of Ambush, different package, thinking it was what I always loved. Wrong! I don't like the ne Ambush. Bring the old Ambush back!!!!

  • MYRA01/02/2003

    Where can I find the Classic Ambush in the pink bottle....my grandmother always wore it...it can bring back sweet memories if only I could find it!

  • ARLENE GIUDICE12/02/2002

    How could you? The old Ambush was a one of a kind. The new stuff is horrible and has nothing special about it at all. Bring back the Pink Bottle Ambush. We all love the old stuff, PLEASE!

  • PAULA10/22/2002

    Hate the new one...please bring back the old...

  • MARY10/17/2002

    I wore Ambush in my teens through my twenties. I loved it. I am now in my 40s and missing i so. I remember a pink bottle, Is the one with te pink cap the same?

  • CAROL08/29/2002

    I agree with Nancy Roth, if it ain't broke don't fix it. The Coca-Cola people learned that when they tried to mess with the original formula. Doesn't seem like Dana is listening to it's consumers though.

  • LYNNDA BUTLER08/24/2002

    After reading the messages, is there some way we can have Dana bring back the OLD Ambush??? I believe there are many looking for it.

  • LYNNDA BUTLER08/24/2002

    I am trying to find the "Old" Ambush since for some reason the new scent is terrible on me. I used the one in the pink topped bottle for 25 years and now find it is unavailable anywhere. Can someone point me in a direction?

  • NANCY ROTH08/21/2002

    I've always heard that, if it's not "broke", don't fix it. Some of the best colonge's that are memorable for many reasons are no longer available. Listen to comments from the countless that want them back, and the Marketing Dept. will not be disappointed.

  • WENDY VANDERPOOL08/09/2002

    If you are looking for the exact formula of original Ambush, look no further than Dana's own Canoe for men. It is the same scent, I guarantee. It is in lots of drug stores, too. Don't know why they repackaged it as a men's cologne, but they did. The new Ambush in the white box is a completely new fragrance.

  • SEAGULL08/04/2002

    I posted a msg earlier on this board re: looking for new Ambush. I bought 6 bottles of the pink topped one, and thought it would smell like it use to. I got it at Gordmans, very reasonable. Maybe I got a bad batch or something as it was very very flowery....That is why I am so happy with the new scent. I have found the pink topped ones in catalogs and on the web, but am afraid to try it now, after buying 6 bottles of the bad batch I got,,,I have been wearing it for way over 20 years. I love the smell,,,but not these six bottles that I have in closet. So I do suggest you smell it before buying if you can. Thank you for the number to call, as I live in Las Vegas NV and find it really crazy that I can't find the new one here or the old one.

  • MIMSY08/03/2002

    Mart, when you spoke to the company, did you ask if "Canoe" (the previous men's analog to "Ambush") had also been reformulated? If not, there's your "Ambush."

  • THUMPER07/26/2002

    This is not the original Ambush. It's entirely different. Canoe does still smell like the old Ambush. It's pretty reasonably priced.

  • CLU06/13/2002

    Good thing I didn't run out and buy this "scent un-smelled"; it isn't the Ambush I remember from my college days. ("Canoe" was identical to old Ambush -- wonder if that still smells the same?!)

  • YBW05/19/2002

    I hate patchouli and this contains it but I still kinda like this scent considering I don't know what the original smells like probably nothing I would be interested in I would recommend this to someone who can't afford Angel or thought it was just a wee bit too strong this might be the scent for you .P.S.I got a half ounce for only $2.99 so I can't complain

  • MART05/07/2002

    Ambush did sell the rights to the company who is putting out Deception. I got a sample of it, and it is not the same formula no matter what they say.

  • PAT NOBLE05/07/2002

    I was given the dusting powder a few yrs back by my MIL and loved it! But now I can't find it anywhere and have even tried contacting Dana. But no luck! If anyone discovers where to find this fabulous fragrance, please post so we can share. I have never tried the perfume but the same thing happened with my "Heaven Sent" perfume that I loved. Thanks

  • JESSICA04/25/2002

    I love the NEW Ambush also. Jade East? Canoe? YECCH Are you kidding? If the old one smells anything else like them, I hope they NEVER bring it back!

  • JOANNA04/21/2002

    i think you are all nuts. i love the so called "new" ambush (i found it eight years ago), it's my favorite. i have angel, obssession, eternity, vanilla oil. what's my favorite? ambush. yes, the one with the CLEAR cap. maybe it's a little too young for you.

  • NELLIE PITTMAN04/05/2002

    I live in Canada and my husband was so excited he found Ambush for me! I noticed the fragance and bottle was different, and upon investigation, found out it was sold through Houbigant. I thought that there was a law about two products having the same name, if it wasn't the same thing? I can't find it anywhere in the original scent and wonder if Dana has sold the rights to the scent, as someone on this board spoke to someone at Dana, and they said it won't be Back!!!! Why not tell us who has the rights to the scent then!!!!

    I was so happy to have located Ambush after such a long absence. What a surprise when I applied it...it was not the same old Ambush I had known for years. Sorry I wasted my money.

  • NONI03/24/2002

    deception is no knockoff,REMARKABLE IS A BETTER WORD.BRING BACK THE OLD AMBUSH.

  • MART03/22/2002

    I posted this the other day, but I guess they didn't list it. I found a knockoff of Ambush, its called Deception. Email me and I'll tell you where to find it. [email protected]

    I have worn the Pink Ambush for 15 years, everything else turns to YUCK on me! Luckily, I can still get it at the perfume store in the mall (Fairfield, California). It is upto $22 a small bottle and the guy says it is getting harder and harder for him to get. I do not like the New Ambush at all, it is to strong.

  • CAROL03/08/2002

    I called the phone number in the email from Mart (1/9/02). They suggested we try the men's colgne Canoe. Said it was just like the old Ambush. I haven't tried it yet though so can't tell you if it is or not. I thought I remembered it being very similar.

  • LINDA03/05/2002

    I have been wearing this longer than I care to admit. I cannot find it anywhere. However, it's on this site, but all of your comments seem negative. Have they changed it to something yukky? I don't want to order it if it's been changed. Thank you.

  • JB02/18/2002

    If anyone has any luck finding the old Ambush, please email me at [email protected]

  • CONNIE SWEENEY02/07/2002

    WHERE CAN I FIND THE ORGINAL? Please e-mail me at [email protected] Thanks!

  • GAYLE02/05/2002

    Have been wearing the original ambush for over thirty years. Can't find anything else I like. Please let me know where I can purchase it. thanks

  • CAROL01/31/2002

    I've been looking for the Ambush bath powder but apparently they quite making it a long time ago. I still have some of the "old" Ambush. Am using it sparingly. Don't guess I'll try the "new" Ambush from all the comments I've read. They really should have given it another name.

  • LINDA01/25/2002

    If you do, email me. I'd like to get it. [email protected]

  • CATHY01/19/2002

    I AGREE - BRING THE OLD AMBUSH BACK THE NEW ONE DOES STINK!! HOW DARE THEY NAME IT THE SAME

  • MART01/19/2002

    Yes, it smelled like Jade East, thats why I liked Ambush so much.

  • MART01/08/2002

    When I called Dana that time, which was fruitless, the lady gave me a phone number of where to get it. Can't find it at this moment, but will look and post it here.

  • AIMEE12/17/2001

    I bought a vintage mini to see what the fuss was about: Yes!! It was just like Canoe only a touch more balsamic. That's great that someone else thinks the same. The original version has no similarity to the Ambush on the shelves nowadays(cool melon and sweet vanilla caramel.) Why bother using the same name?

  • ROSE12/11/2001

    I loved the old Ambush, and I seem to remember it smelled just like the men's cologne, Canoe. Anyone else remember it that way?

  • JORICH12/03/2001

    You think you have it bad Ambush has been gone from Australian shelves for years. A major campaigne should be run to bring it back. I only wear ambush no other stinky stuff.

  • KELLI12/02/2001

    i was just wondering when the old ambush stopped and the new one started cuz ive only ever smelled one of them. I just wonder which one i like

  • KARINA11/30/2001

    Sorry about the false lead- Vermont Country Store had the original version as of a couple of months ago, but yes indeed, they are now selling only the new version- spoke to a company rep and they said they are now completely unable to order any more of the old version. Lots of luck in your searches- lets not give up! I'm going to look at some of the places other people suggested.

  • ANGIPOO11/26/2001

    I have most of a 1.5 oz. bottle of original Ambush. Will sell to anyone who wants it. My husband only likes fruity fragrances on me or Obsession. Hate to see my Ambush go.

  • MART11/12/2001

    Ok girls, here is the number to call Dana and complain! I just got off the phone with them, and told them how horrible the new Ambush is. Didn't help, said they are not gonna bring it back. So, I figure the more complaints they get about that rotten new smell, the more likely we are to get our old fragrance back. Go to it! Dana Perfumes (Alyssa Ashley) 470 Oak Hill Rd., Mountain Top, PA 18707; 1-800-822-8547;

  • MART11/08/2001

    Sorry about the two posts. Do any of you know how to contact Dana? I've gotten the impression they went outta business and someone else took over. Is this so?

  • MART11/08/2001

    Boy did I just get stooped. I bought my beloved Ambush on line, and when it got here I sprayed it on me and thought I would choke!! This is not Ambush! What in the heck did they do to it? I want my Ambush back!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • KAREN 11/03/2001

    The original (old) Ambush has a Hot pink top and lable on it (always). The new is just a clear top. And I agree with evey one in the messages, I have been wearing Ambush by Dana since I was about 13(I am 49 now) I love the old scent as you all do. I found some old sent at www.99perfume.com. I found in one of the messages here. Thank you so much! If I come accross more I will come back and give the address where to get it.

  • MAR 10/21/2001

    Bring back the original Ambush by Dana!!!!!

  • MAUREEN T. LEE10/21/2001

    I agree with Connie....I have been missing thel old Ambush and looking for it everywhere...It was such an intense exotic heavenly scent...Where the hell did it go???? Does anyone know where to find it again....BRING IT BACK SOON PLEASE...

  • CONNIE10/20/2001

    I would LOVE to have the original Ambush scent back. The new stuff stinks! Is it a possibility?

  • LUCY10/17/2001

    Can't find old Ambush anywhere in Louisville, Ky.....Does anyone know where it can be found?....Not eager to buy it over the Internet without smelling it first.....Yes, the new version is awful....A cheap, floral smell...

  • JILL09/03/2001

    I totally loved the original Ambush scent. The new one is just awful. I have always used the Origianl Ambush and would love to find out where I could order it. I want it back now!!!!!!

  • DENIESE09/03/2001

    I cannot believe that they have changed the scent of Ambush cologne! I used to wear nothing but Ambush! I had lost touch with it for many years as I could not even find it and was really hoping to get it here. I can tell you all out there that there is another cologne that has a very clean scent instead of a flowery scent. I have been using it for a very long time now and it is the only other scent I would wear besides Ambush. It is Clinique Elirir. I suggest that you should gho to a retailer such as marshal Fields and smell it! I really think most of you that loved Ambush would like it too! I get compliments all the time and allot of inquires as to what I am wearing. I would like to find the original scent of Ambush so if anyone knows where I can get it PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!! Does anyone know if the Ambush advertised here is the new one or the old?

  • STEPHANIE07/02/2001

    My mother wore Ambush when I was a child, and I also wore it back in the late 80's. It was one of my favorites at that time. Does anyone know if the scent had already changed from the original at that time, approximately 1987?

  • AUTUMN12/27/2000

    My mother loves the old Ambush and I wish I could find it for her. The new Ambush stinks. Bring the original back!

  • LAURA12/15/2000

    I used the old ambush I WANT IT BACK!!! The new ambush stinks and you can taste it in your food. Yeck!! My Hubby of 26 years wants it back too!! Thankyou for who ever reads this. I am trying to get ahold of Dana company and I can't find! Anyone know how to send them e-mail?

  • PETER 12/14/2000

    I BEEN MARRIED FOR 29 YEARS TO MY WIFE, WHO HAS ALLWAYS USED ORIGINAL AMBUSH. I NEED TO SMELL THIS FRAGRANCE AGAIN TO BRING ALL THE MEMORIES TO ME. PLEASE WHERE CAN I BUY IT. DANA PLEASE BRING IT BACK, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO CHANGE. IT WAS A MISTAKE.

  • MARIJANE12/01/2000

    I hate the new AMBUSH. It's just like all the other colognes out there. The old AMBUSH was really different and wonderful. If I wanted the new stuff, I could pick up 30 others just like it blindfolded! Why didn't Dana warn us? I would have bought 20 bottles before they discontinued it!

  • NANCY12/01/2000

    Can't find Ambush anywhere in our area - only on the net. Didn't know they had changed the scent -- what happened to the original - it was WONDERFUL. I've been using this since the mid 60's, and now can't find it.

  • Having hard time finding a retailer that sells the original brand without soaking me for a lot of money. Prefer the original and feel cheated that they have changed the fragrance to a flowery smell Yucch!!
