What does MGO Amber smell like?

Most voters pick winter and fall, with evening and night out leading the occasions. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, and it also reads as classic.

Amber, labdanum, vanilla and honeycomb carry a sweet warmth. Spices, leather and patchouli pull that sweetness towards something dry and slightly smoky. Sandalwood and cedar lay a woody base, while frankincense and styrax deepen the resinous side.
