Aerin Amber Musk d'Or is a feminine scent where amber, musk and sandalwood meet in a sweet, creamy, powdery heart, and it suits evenings and the colder part of the year.

What does Amber Musk d'Or smell like?

Both longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, spring trails behind, and summer is barely mentioned. Night outs and evenings lead, with leisure and daily wear further back. Half the voters call it feminine, and a fair number find it classic.

Coconut water and magnolia leaf keep the opening light. In the heart amber, lily of the valley, ambrox and oud take over, and the base of sandalwood, benzoin, frankincense, musk and praliné settles into a sweet, resinous, faintly smoky warmth. Narciso Rodriguez Amber Musc and Bon Parfumeur 302 Ambre Iris Santal have a close profile.
