ResinousWhat does Ombre Orientale smell like?
The top notes bring apple, blackcurrant, bergamot, pink pepper and Persian saffron together, so the fruit is sharpened by spice. In the heart, orange blossom, rose, violet and raspberry form a floral, lightly sweet layer. The base of amber, patchouli, iris, sandalwood and oud adds green and animalic shades and pulls the scent towards woody, resinous and smoky territory.
