What does Amber Cuir smell like?

The top is lavender, neroli and geranium; in the heart, frankincense, coriander seed and opoponax add a resinous, spicy weight. The base of iris, sandalwood, ambergris and amber dries down woody and sweet, while the leathery accord adds a slight firmness over it.

Voters find the longevity strong and the sillage good, though the vote count is small, so these ratings are tentative. It reads unisex and suits those who like oriental scents. It has been discontinued. Henry Jacques Ambre Cuir de HJ and El Nabil Amber of Yemen have a close profile.
