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.

What does Bel Ambre smell like?
Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and very few suggest summer. It is chosen most for evenings, leisure time and nights out. Feminine and masculine votes are almost level, so it reads as truly in between.
It opens with lemon, bergamot, juniper berry and black pepper, bright and sharp at first. In the heart, orris butter adds a powdery softness, while caraway and white blossoms bring a spicy floral note. It dries down to vetiver, leather, musk and amber, settling into a woody, leathery, resinous warmth.
