What does Ambra (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with orange, petitgrain and bergamot for a citrus freshness. In the heart, Virginia cedar, patchouli, nagarmotha and rose build a woody, lightly floral core. The base of musk, vanilla, ambergris, sandalwood and cistus leaves a sweet, resinous, slightly leathery warmth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by winter and spring; few choose summer. It leans towards evenings and nights out, with some votes for leisure and business. Most voters call it masculine and classic. Acqua di Parma Colonia Ambra and Fragrance Du Bois Oud Noir Intense have a close profile.
