What does Amber smell like?

The top notes are bergamot, ylang-ylang and jasmine; in the heart, jasmine meets crystal amber and labdanum, giving the scent a warm, resinous feel. Heliotrope, woods and opoponax dominate the base, so it turns sweeter and dries down powdery and woody.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter; it suits daily and leisure wear best, with evening and night out following. Voters lean slightly feminine, though masculine votes are far from rare. Molinard Héliotrope and Amouage Reflection 45 have a close profile.
