What does Halston Woman Amber smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening and night out come up most often, though it is also worn for leisure. Most find it feminine, yet a fair share call it masculine.

It opens with aldehydes, mandarin orange and red currant, a bright, fruity start. In the heart, amber, tuberose and rose take over and make the scent creamier and sweeter. In the base, sandalwood, frankincense, suede and musk add a woody, smoky, leathery depth.
