What does Ambre Amande / Amber Almond smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also gets worn for leisure. Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Voters read it slightly more feminine, but a sizeable share call it masculine.

Saffron and coriander open it with a spicy warmth. At the heart, belle de nuit flower, frankincense and roasted almond build a gourmand, resinous sweetness. Amber, oud, cashmere wood and cypriol carry it into a woody, smoky base. Lattafa Raghba Wood Intense and Amouroud Oud Tabac have a close profile.
