CreamyWhat does Ambre Passion smell like?
It opens with vanilla, geranium and labdanum. In the heart, tonka bean, patchouli and amber settle the scent onto a soft, creamy base. Cedar, musk and sandalwood add a woody warmth underneath. The overall feel is gourmand, spicy and powdery.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it suits evenings, nights out and leisure time. Most voters read it as feminine. Histoires de Parfums Ambre 114 and Words Single have a close profile.
