What does Lumière d'Ambre smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it makes itself felt without filling the room. Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, with summer well behind. Leisure, business and evening use are voted almost evenly. About half of voters read it as feminine.

It opens with lotus, pink pepper and mandarin orange, light and bright. In the heart, jasmine, rose and vanilla orchid build a sweet floral core. The base of ambroxan, musk and amber softens everything into a powdery, resinous warmth.
