What does Amber Empire smell like?

It opens with vanilla, liqueur and cashmere wood, then moves into amber, sugar cane and cedarwood. Sandalwood, tonka bean, labdanum and musk settle it onto a soft, creamy base. The fruity and gourmand sides are clear, while the spicy and oriental tones stay in the background.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is favoured for nights out and evenings. It reads masculine and modern. Maison Asrar Faris Al Arab and Initio Blessed Baraka have a close profile.
