What does Ambar del Sur smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays on skin for a long time without filling the room. It leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out, and is chosen less often for the office or daily wear. Voters are split between masculine and feminine.

It opens with Italian bergamot. The heart gathers amber, Australian sandalwood, water jasmine and Indonesian patchouli, and the base holds myrrh, Spanish cistus, Venezuelan tonka bean and Bourbon vanilla absolute. The result is sweet, spicy and woody, with a powdery, creamy, resinous feel. Prada Midnight Train and Xerjoff Amber Star have a close profile.
