What does Amber Mystique smell like?
It opens with raspberry nectar and blackcurrant for a fruity sweetness, while pink pepper adds a light spice. In the heart, Bulgarian rose, jasmine and patchouli join floral and earthy tones. The base of amber, oud, leather and labdanum turns smoky, leathery and warm.
Most voters pick fall and winter, with evenings and nights out leading. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most call it feminine, though a fair share finds it masculine.
