What does Bois d'Ambre smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with summer the least chosen. Daily wear, leisure, evening, a night out and the office all get similar votes, and over half of voters read it as masculine.
Bergamot, bitter orange and plum give a fresh, fruity start. In the heart, Atlas cedar, geranium and clary sage move it into a floral, woody stage. Gaiac wood, tonka bean and amber sweeten the base and finish it with an oriental warmth. Guess 1981 Los Angeles Men and Rasasi Entebaa pour Homme have a close profile.
