SmokyWhat does Ambre Sauvage Absolu smell like?
Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good. Most pick fall and winter, and evening and night-out wear lead the occasion votes. Masculine and feminine votes are close, so it sits evenly between the two.
Lavender and pink pepper open with a spicy, lightly aromatic touch. In the heart, iris adds a powdery softness and vanilla brings sweetness. The base of papyrus, labdanum, styrax and patchouli sets a woody, resinous, earthy ground. Goutal Ambre Fétiche (Eau de Parfum) and Lubin Akkad have a close profile.
