What does Ambre (2016) smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evening, leisure and nights out. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters read it as feminine slightly more often than masculine, though a fair share see it as masculine.

It opens with freesia and bergamot, with tonka bean, plum and cistus in the heart. The base holds amber, vanilla, musk, vetiver and cedar. A floral freshness at the start gives way to a gourmand sweetness and resinous warmth. Laura Mercier Ambre Passion and Fragonard Rose Ambre have a close profile.
