What does Amber Santal (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with a dry, spicy entry of nutmeg, cypress and pepper. Frankincense and sandalwood take the heart, and the base of amber, patchouli, cedarwood and more sandalwood settles into an earthy, powdery and creamy warmth, with smoky and animalic touches staying in the background.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though few voters have rated it so these figures are tentative. Its woody, oriental build leans towards cooler weather, and it sits comfortably on both men and women.
