How does it perform?
From 43 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

OrientalWhat does Amberbee smell like?
Most voters recommend fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it is also worn for leisure. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. More voters read it as feminine, but a fair number call it masculine.
It opens with cinnamon, red fruits and bergamot, so spice and fruity sweetness arrive together. In the heart, caramel, amber and vanilla pull it in a creamy, gourmand direction. The base of opoponax, sandalwood and Peru balsam leaves a resinous, woody warmth.
