What does 1902 - Bois Ambré smell like?

In the top, citron and bergamot give a bright citrus lift. The heart builds a woody frame from patchouli, Brazilian rosewood and cedar. In the base, tonka bean, amber, tobacco and musk bring a creamy, spicy, powdery warmth, with the smoky side staying in the background.

Its longevity is rated as moderate, though the number of votes is small, so that reading is tentative. It suits men and women alike, and its citrus start and woody-amber base work for both daytime and evening wear. Al Haramain L'Aventure and Jil Sander Ultrasense White have a close profile.
