From your scent profile
Atelier Cologne Ambre Nue is a sweet, resinous unisex scent that sets the brightness of green mandarin orange and Sicilian bergamot against the warmth of Ceylonese cinnamon and Siam benzoin.
Skunky's take: That just-out-of-the-shower feeling, clean and fresh.

What does Ambre Nue smell like?
It opens with green mandarin orange, Egyptian tagetes and Sicilian bergamot, a fresh citrus start. In the heart, Ceylonese cinnamon and Siam benzoin add a spicy sweetness, and the scent drifts toward a gourmand, powdery side. It dries down on Spanish labdanum, Brazilian tonka bean and amber, with a woody, oriental warmth.
Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans toward leisure and daily wear. Votes for feminine and masculine character are equal. Note 33 Aphrodisiaque and Xerjoff Dhajala have a close profile.
