What does Vanille Ambre smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick fall and winter, with leisure and evening wear leading the occasions. In the character votes, feminine comes out clearly ahead.

Aniseed and vanilla give a sweet, lightly spiced opening. Amber at the heart turns that into a warm, oriental base. Patchouli and musk close it with a woody, powdery softness. The overall impression is dense and gourmand, leaning sweet rather than dry.
