What does Armani Privé - Ambre Orient smell like?
It leans towards autumn and winter, with most voters choosing those seasons and summer barely mentioned. Evenings and nights out suit it best. Longevity is rated very strong and sillage good. It reads slightly more masculine, though a sizeable share of voters call it feminine.
It opens with frankincense and thyme, resinous and a little herbal. At the heart, pink pepper, oud, patchouli and sandalwood build a woody, earthy body. The base of vanilla, cinnamon, labdanum and amber sweetens it into a gourmand, faintly smoky and animalic warmth. Parfums Vintage Sandal Amber and Tom Ford Amber Absolute have a close profile.
