What does Amber Kiso smell like?

It opens with cryptomeria, Sawara cypress and frankincense, giving a dry, resinous forest feel. In the heart, patchouli, iris and Japanese maple pull it in an earthy direction. The base of hinoki cypress, leather and tree moss leaves it deep, animal and smoky.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen most for evenings, leisure and nights out. Its masculine side outweighs the rest. Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle Monsieur. and Marc Gebauer Air Tiger share a close profile.
