What does Amarok smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, and most voters call it long-lasting. Winter and autumn lead, spring follows closely, and few pick summer. It suits leisure time and evenings, and also works for a night out.

It opens with balsamic notes, red pine, Japanese yuzu and blue cypress, which give a resinous, green and sharp feel. In the heart, jasmine, American magnolia and orris root add a soft floral touch. The base of birch tar, Thai oud, Mysore sandalwood and amber leaves a smoky, leathery and earthy trail.
