Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.

What does L'Ambre smell like?
Both its longevity and sillage are rated good, and most voters score its staying power high. There are too few votes on season or occasion to say when it suits best, but its unisex profile sits comfortably on either men or women.
The scent is built entirely from green tuberose, patchouli and black amber. The fresh, green floral side of the tuberose meets the earthy woodiness of patchouli, while black amber adds a resinous, spicy and slightly smoky warmth. The result leans oriental, with flowers and wood in balance.
