What does Amber smell like?

Oregano, ylang-ylang and laurel open with a spicy, lightly floral start, while patchouli and jasmine add woody depth at the heart. The base of amber, balsamic notes and vanilla settles into a sweet, gourmand, resinous warmth, with smoky and oriental touches behind it.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Masculine and feminine votes are close, so it sits in the middle. Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan and Daniel Josier Ambre Tabac have a close profile.
