What does Amber smell like?

Mandarin orange opens it, lavender absolute sits in the heart and labdanum anchors the base. The mandarin adds a light freshness at the start, the lavender pulls the heart towards floral and green, and the labdanum settles everything onto a sweet, woody, earthy resin.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick winter and fall, with spring next, and it is worn most often for leisure and evenings. Masculine and feminine votes are equal, so it reads as truly unisex. Prada Amber and Maison Mona di Orio Mellifera have a close profile.
