What does Per Fumum: Ambar smell like?

Most voters pick winter and fall, and it is worn mainly for evenings and nights out. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. It sits evenly between masculine and feminine, with a classic character.

It opens with bitter orange, ginger and cardamom, a spicy brightness. Rose, iris and tobacco absolute lead the heart, and the base of fossilized himalayan amber, Vietnamese oud, patchouli and labdanum settles into a resinous, woody, animalic warmth. Xerjoff Groove Xcape and Xerjoff Red Hoba have a close profile.
