What does Ambre Noir smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring well behind. It is chosen most for nights out, evenings and leisure time, and less for daily or office wear.

It opens with clove, cardamom, cinnamon and bergamot, giving a spiced warmth. The heart is fruity and gourmand: date, plum, apricot, toffee and rose lokum blend together, softened by powdery notes. The base of amber, vanilla, patchouli and sandalwood leaves a woody, faintly smoky sweetness.
