What does Ambre Cuir de HJ (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with orange blossom, Egyptian geranium and lavender, which give a bright floral lift. In the heart, frankincense, coriander seed and Florentine iris bring a spicy, powdery softness. The base of amber, opoponax and leather settles into a creamy, woody ground.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer rarely chosen. It is mentioned most for evenings and nights out. Though unisex, most voters read it as masculine. Its profile is close to Dior Homme Parfum and Parfums de Marly Athalia.
