What does Amber Rose smell like?

It opens with geranium, Ceylonese cinnamon and violet, with oud already adding a dark undertone. In the heart, Bulgarian damask rose and Turkish damask rose absolute take over. The base of Mysore sandalwood, Siam benzoin and vanilla settles into a powdery, creamy warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring is not far behind. It is favoured for nights out and evenings. Votes for feminine and masculine are almost level. Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Satin Mood and Stéphane Humbert Lucas Isra & Miraj have a close profile.
