What does Un Air d'Arabie Ambre (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Frankincense and cistus lead the top, with geranium, amber and benzoin in the heart. The base holds patchouli, vanilla and ambergris. The overall impression is sweet and gourmand, over a spicy, woody, powdery and smoky resinous character, while the fresh accord stays in the background.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so that picture is tentative. It reads as a fragrance aimed at women. Guerlain Ambre Samar and Omnia Profumi Ambra have a close profile.
