What does Axis smell like?

It opens with freesia and plum, a light fruity freshness. In the heart, amber and woods take over and give it a woody, spicy body. The base of labdanum and vanilla turns sweeter and settles into something warm and soft.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though few people have voted, so those ratings are only a rough guide. It suits men and women alike, and voters rate its value for money highly. Givenchy Ambre Tigré and Next White Amber have a close profile.
