SmokyWhat does Captured in Amber smell like?
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a first impression. It suits anyone after a warm, dense scent that doesn't lean masculine or feminine.
Taken as a whole, spices, benzoin, patchouli and tonka bean lead, with dark chocolate and vanilla adding sweetness. Peru balsam and labdanum settle it into a soft, creamy base, while frankincense and myrrh bring a resinous, smoky depth and ambergris stays in the background.
