Anglia-Perfumery Amber, made for men and now discontinued, pairs the freshness of bergamot and orange with the warm, resinous woodiness of sandalwood, cedar and amber.

What does Amber smell like?

Bergamot and orange give a fresh opening. In the heart, heliotrope and jasmine sweeten the scent while sandalwood, cedar and patchouli build a woody base. Vetiver, musk and amber settle into a spicy, oriental warmth.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with some votes for evening and business. Its character splits between masculine and feminine. Arabian Oud Amiri and Anfas Salam have a close profile.
