What does Amsterdam smell like?

The top of Sichuan pepper, pink pepper, saffron and elemi resin gives a spicy, fresh, slightly resinous start. Black tulip and rose carry the floral and green side in the heart. In the base, musk, amber, cedarwood and sandalwood ground it in a woody, sweet and creamy finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer; leisure and daily wear lead, and it also suits the office. On character, feminine edges ahead, with a sizeable share calling it masculine.
