What does Vertical Ambers - Vaninight smell like?

It wears with good longevity and moderate sillage. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also works for leisure. Feminine and masculine votes run close, so it reads comfortably either way.

Amber and vanilla absolute form the core, with tonka bean absolute and almond adding a creamy sweetness. Black pepper and pink pepper bring spice, sandalwood gives a woody base, jasmine and mimosa add a soft floral touch, and rum deepens the warmth. Synthetic and leathery tones keep the sweetness from turning syrupy.
