What does Ambre d'Or smell like?

It opens with mastic, sweet clover, lime and red fruits, which read fresh, citrusy and fruity. Rose adds a soft floral heart, and the base of patchouli, sandalwood, amber, tonka bean and musk settles into a sweet, creamy, woody warmth. Spicy and oriental touches stay in the background.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the vote counts are small. Most voters pick fall and spring, with summer and winter close behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and can also work in an office setting. Rasasi Daarej pour Homme and Alexandre.J Black Muscs have a close profile.
