What does Amber Musk smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, with most voters scoring both high. The number of votes is small, so this is a loose indication rather than a firm verdict. Value for money is also rated favourably. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on both men and women.

It opens with amber, oud and white musk. In the heart, birch, rose, raspberry and saffron add a fruity, floral sweetness, with the smoky edge of birch keeping it in check. The base of geranium, amberwood and benzoin closes it with a woody, resinous warmth. Armaf Midnight Amber and French Avenue The Shadow have a close profile.
