What does L'Eau d'Ambre Extrême smell like?

It lasts strongly and projects well. Most voters pick winter and fall, with summer far behind. Evening and night out lead, while leisure and daily wear follow. It doesn't read clearly feminine or masculine; the two views sit close together.

It opens on cardamom, nutmeg, pepper and mace, so the spice comes first. Indonesian patchouli and Turkish rose form the heart, with benzoin, tonka bean, sandalwood and Bourbon vanilla underneath. The result is a floral, powdery, resinous and gourmand warmth, softened by musk at the base.
