What does Amber of Yemen smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and summer is rarely chosen. It is linked mostly to evenings and nights out. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it wears comfortably on either.

Bergamot and rose give a bright start, while geranium and ylang-ylang form a floral heart. Sandalwood, cedar, amber and patchouli leave a woody, sweet, resinous warmth underneath. The overall impression is a dense, spiced, soft amber.
