What does Bleu Ambrée smell like?

The top holds violet, coriander seed and spicy notes; in the heart, butter, Tunisian neroli and two rose absolutes build a floral, creamy body. Tolu balm, labdanum, vanilla and musk lead the base, and the scent settles into something sweeter, more gourmand and oriental.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close while the weight comes from the base. It reads comfortably on both men and women. Solange Azagury-Partridge Stoned and Zara Starlight Vanilla have a close profile.
