What does Ambre smell like?

Its longevity is good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though some wear it for daytime and leisure too. Votes lean feminine, but a fair number call it masculine.

It opens with rhubarb, nutmeg and pink pepper, a fruity spice. The heart holds hawthorn, freesia and patchouli. As it dries, vanilla, amber and sandalwood settle into a sweet, woody, powdery warmth, with gourmand and resinous shades in the accords. Hermès L'Ambre des Merveilles and Histoires de Parfums Ambre 114 have a close profile.
