Amber Wood Noir

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Given how dense it is, a light hand may be enough.

It opens with clary sage, bergamot and lavender. In the heart, gaiac wood, pine and rose build a woody backbone. The base settles into musk, sandalwood, driftwood and amber, where the creamy, animal and smoky accords come through more clearly. The scent balances sweetness against dry woodiness. Parfums de Marly Pegasus Exclusif and Mith Velvet Amber have a close profile.
