What does Halston Man Amber smell like?

It opens with geranium, bergamot and thyme, a fresh start with a light spiciness. At the heart, amber, labdanum and myrrh bring a resinous, sweet warmth. Cedarwood, musk and oud in the base settle it into a woody, smoky, slightly animalic ground, with a powdery edge.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards night out and evening wear, with leisure and daily use also named. Most see it as masculine and classic. Yves Saint Laurent M7 and Etro Ambra have a close profile.
