What does Ame Torturée smell like?

The notes read as one whole: amber, benzoin and vanilla build a sweet base, while frankincense adds a resinous, smoky edge. Neroli and wisteria bring a soft floral touch, coriander adds spice, and Clearwood™ and woody notes keep it dry and woody underneath.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with summer well behind, and evening and night out lead the occasions. Votes for masculine and feminine are almost level, so it sits between the two. Ikiryō Everywhen and Then Again and Giardini di Toscana Christos have a close profile.
