What does Ambre Noir smell like?

The top notes are apple, bergamot and cardamom, giving a fruity, spicy start. In the heart, elemi resin, orange blossom and coriander add a floral and green middle layer. The base of musk, patchouli, amber and vanilla takes over, settling into a sweet, woody, oriental character.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It suits evenings, nights out and leisure time. Most voters read it as masculine, and some also call it classic. Officina delle Essenze Caldo Orientale and Widian Sahara have a close profile.
