What does Dubai Amethyst smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, though these ratings rest on only a few votes. With no season or occasion votes, all that can be said is that it reads unisex, neither clearly masculine nor feminine.

Lily and rose lead the top, and the accords are fresh, floral, spicy and powdery. In the heart, tonka bean sweetens the florals while jasmine softens them. The base of tobacco, ambroxan and patchouli dries down with a spicy, powdery depth.
