What does Ambre de Cabochard smell like?
Most voters read it as feminine, with some calling it classic or modern. It leans towards fall and winter, though spring wear is common too. It has been worn from daytime to evening, and its longevity and sillage are moderate.
The top notes are blueberry, blackcurrant, mandarin orange, cardamom and cinnamon, so fruity brightness meets spice. Lily of the valley, tuberose and cyclamen give the heart a floral softness. The base of tonka bean, amber, patchouli and vanilla leaves a sweet, powdery, woody warmth.
