What does Ambre Fétiche (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and very few choose summer. Evening and night out are the favoured occasions. Voters split evenly between masculine and feminine, so it sits comfortably between the two.

It opens with frankincense, labdanum and styrax, then moves into benzoin, iris and geranium. Patchouli, Russian leather and vanilla form the base. The sweetness is tempered by woody, powdery and smoky tones, with a leathery, animal warmth in the background.
