What does Amber Sapphire smell like?

The top pairs blackcurrant, bergamot, cinnamon and rum for a fruity, spicy start. In the heart, rose, magnolia and mastic bring a floral and resinous feel, and the base of tonka bean, vanilla, cedar and Cambodian oud leaves a woody, oriental warmth. Fresh and green accords lighten the heavier base.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. It reads slightly more masculine than feminine, though many voters call it feminine.
