What does Les Compositions Parfumées - Sweet Amber smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick winter and autumn, with spring after them; summer trails behind. Leisure, a night out and evenings are the most named uses, and it can also work for a business day.

It opens with aniseed, neroli and heliotrope, and the heart of orange blossom, tuberose and jasmine sambac adds a soft floral body. In the base, vanilla, sandalwood and ambroxan take over, settling into a woody, creamy sweetness. Dolce & Gabbana pour Femme Intense and Valentina Poudre have a close profile.
