What does Amber Aquilaria smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring third and summer chosen by few. It leans towards evening and night-out wear and sits back on business and daily days. Voters read it as masculine more often than feminine, though the feminine share is far from small.

Bergamot, mandarin orange and peach open on a fruity brightness, with cinnamon adding spice. At the heart, neroli, rose, jasmine and geranium bring a floral layer, joined by cognac. In the base, oud, ambergris, sandalwood and Bourbon vanilla give it a resinous, woody, smoky warmth. Guerlain Santal Royal (Eau de Parfum) and Xerjoff More Than Words have a close profile.
