What does Secret V: Ambre d'Orient smell like?

Cinnamon, pink pepper and bergamot open with a spicy sparkle, while rose and jasmine add a soft floral edge. At the heart, nagarmotha, patchouli, cedar and vetiver build a woody, earthy base layer. The base turns resinous and sweet, with tonka bean, benzoin, amber, frankincense, musk, vanilla and myrrh.

Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate. It is recommended most for nights out and evenings, with daily wear, leisure and business following close behind. Eisenberg Secret II: Bois Précieux and Beaufort Acrasia have a close profile.
