What does Ambre Mystère smell like?

Benzoin, labdanum and vanilla build a warm, sweet resin base. Peru balsam and tolu balm soften it, while patchouli and vetiver add an earthy, woody weight; the spicy and powdery touches stay in the background.

Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Votes split between feminine and masculine, so it sits close to both. Réminiscence Le Patchouli Élixir and Maître Parfumeur et Gantier Ambre Précieux Ultime have a close profile.
