What does Ambra smell like?
Amber, vanilla and Corsican immortelle absolute form the core of the scent. The sweetness leads, but the resinous and spicy accords give it depth without heaviness. Italian bergamot and cistus lift that warmth, and a citrus brightness stays in the background throughout.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, mainly for evenings and nights out, though some also wear it for work and daily use. Votes for masculine and feminine are almost equal, so it sits comfortably on either side.
