What does Amber Intense smell like?

It opens with labdanum, saffron, rose and bergamot, so spice and flower arrive together. Patchouli, gaiac wood and cedarwood form a woody heart. In the base, vetiver, musk, vanilla and amber sweeten and soften the scent.

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and summer is rarely chosen. Evenings and nights out lead, while daily wear and the office trail behind. Votes split almost evenly between feminine and masculine. Birkholz Berlin Dream and Floris Honey Oud have a close profile.
