What does Ambush (1997) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays on the skin without projecting far. The vote count is small, so these impressions are tentative.

It opens fresh and fruity with sage, kiwi, bergamot, papaya, lavender and lemon. The heart turns floral with passion fruit, rose, carnation and geranium. Praliné, vanilla, tonka bean and heliotrope sweeten the base and close it on a spicy, oriental warmth.
