What does Ambra (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It lasts well and projects moderately. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is most often worn in the evening, on a night out or for leisure. Voters call it feminine first, masculine second.

It opens with bergamot, coriander and labdanum, and its heart holds styrax, opoponax, rose, geranium and amber. Musk, vanilla and patchouli sit in the base. A gourmand sweetness rests on a woody, powdery ground, with resinous amber leading. Omnia Profumi Ambra and Floris Honey Oud have a close profile.
