What does Anbar smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Voters rate the staying power well, though the sample is small, so treat that with caution. It sits comfortably on men and women alike, and its heavy, warm build suits cooler weather.

It opens with lemon and bergamot for a citrus lift, softened at once by ylang-ylang and vanilla. In the heart, raspberry, plum and blackcurrant bring fruity sweetness, balanced by rose, black pepper and red pepper. The base settles into a creamy, resinous warmth of myrrh, frankincense, benzoin, tonka bean and fossilised amber.
