What does Ambre Samar smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening and night out lead the occasions. Feminine and masculine votes sit close together, so it wears comfortably on either.

Amber and honey give it a sweet, gourmand warmth. Frankincense pulls that sweetness towards something resinous and smoky, vanilla softens it, and ambergris adds depth underneath. Spicy and woody touches keep it in an oriental vein. Serge Lutens Ambre sultan (Eau de Parfum) and Mamlaka Khalif have a close profile.
