What does Ambrosia smell like?

The floral part comes from ylang-ylang and mimosa, while bergamot and angelica root pull that sweetness toward something fresh and green. Soil and frankincense add an earthy, resinous and slightly smoky depth, with spicy and woody tones staying in the background.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and leisure and business settings lead. Masculine and feminine votes are level, so it sits right in the middle. Parfums Sven Pritzkoleit Lisbon Blues and Roos & Roos Mentha Religiosa have a close profile.
