What does Édition Rare - Ambrarem smell like?

It opens with pink pepper and elemi resin, and the heart brings oud, orris absolute and saffron forward. In the base, Bourbon vanilla, sandalwood, amber and castoreum absolute carry the sweetness into a warm, leathery, animal and smoky finish.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out rather than summer heat. More voters call it masculine than feminine, though a fair share read it as feminine. Lattafa Oud Mood Elixir and Maître Parfumeur et Gantier Ambre Doré have a close profile.
