It opens on blackcurrant, raspberry, cocoa and saffron, with lemon brightening the sweet fruit. The heart brings amber, leather and rose absolute. The base settles into benzoin, vanilla absolute, tonka bean absolute and oud, with cedarwood and sandalwood adding a woody floor.
Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, so it stays close to noticeable and lasts. A scent of this weight tends to sit well in cooler weather. It suits men and women alike. Meo Fusciuni Amara Vita and S.T. Dupont Royal Amber have a close profile.
