What does Amber Desire smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters choose it for evening or a night out, with leisure wear a distant third. Feminine and masculine votes sit close together, so it doesn't lean firmly to one side.

Amber, labdanum and vanilla form the body of the scent, a warm, creamy and sweet base. Rose absolute adds a soft floral touch, while spicy and woody tones keep the sweetness in check.
