What does L'Ambra smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring well behind. It leans towards night outs and evenings, and is also worn for leisure. It reads neither clearly feminine nor masculine, sitting somewhere between the two.

It opens on Bulgarian rose absolute. In the heart, sandalwood, cashmere wood and patchouli lay down a woody base. The base of amber, frankincense, musk and benzoin adds a sweet, resinous warmth. Its profile is close to Profumum Roma Patchouly and Mugler Miroir Miroir - Miroir des Voluptés.
