What does Classic Collection: Aqua Orientalis - Ambre smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring further behind. Votes spread across daily wear, leisure, evenings and nights out, so it isn't tied to one moment. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself felt without filling the room.

It opens with plum and bergamot, a fruity, fresh start. The heart carries the floral side in Bulgarian rose and jasmine sambac. The base of benzoin, amber and vanilla brings sweetness and resinous warmth, while spicy and woody touches stay in the background. Rochas Femme (2014) and Fragrance Du Bois Oud Noir Intense have a close profile.
