What does Love Don't Be Shy Amber and Oud Special Blend 2023 smell like?

Bulgarian rose and Moroccan orange blossom absolute carry the floral side, while marshmallow and vanilla set it on a creamy, sweet base. Amber and oud join cedarwood's dry woodiness and the spicy edge of Akigalawood®, giving the whole a dark, animalic warmth.

Voters find its longevity very strong and its sillage strong, though the vote count is small, so these ratings are only indicative. Its dense build suits cooler weather and evening wear better than heat. It reads neither masculine nor feminine and sits comfortably on anyone. Xerjoff Alexandria II and Profumum Roma Amante have a close profile.
