What does Amber smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Voters mostly call its character masculine, though it is classed as unisex.

The opening pairs citrus with juniper, black pepper and birch leaf, which keeps it fresh, green and lightly spicy. Lavender, vetiver and jasmine form the heart, and the base of white amber, musk, leather and oakmoss turns woody and earthy. Maître Parfumeur et Gantier Racine and Floris 1976 have a close profile.
