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

Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind and summer rarely chosen. It is put forward for daytime, leisure, evening and office wear alike. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself felt around you without overpowering the room.

Jasmine leads at the start, then benzoin and iris add a floral, powdery softness in the heart. As it dries, amber, musk and vanilla take over, giving a creamy, resinous, gourmand sweetness. Spicy and woody touches stay in the background. Its profile is close to Jean Paul Gaultier Gaultier² and La Rive Cashmere.
