What does Ambuscade smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Voters pick it most for leisure and daily wear, with night out and business not far behind. It reads equally at home on men and women, with an easygoing character.

It opens with berries and pepper, then moves into nutmeg, forest raspberry and woody notes at the heart. The base holds floral notes and violet. The fruity sweetness is cut by spice, and the violet-led floral base leaves a soft trail. Penhaligon's The Coveted Duchess Rose and Atralia Sierra have a close profile.
