What does Ambre Muscadin smell like?

It opens with Atlas cedar, violet and Java vetiver, which lay a woody, lightly powdery base. In the heart, vanilla and white honey take over and sweeten it, while benzoin, musk and amber finish it warm and resinous. Spicy, smoky and leathery touches keep the sweetness from turning soft.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is worn mostly in the evening and on nights out. Feminine and masculine votes run close, so it sits in the middle between the two. Perfumes with a close profile include Michele Bergman Black Amber and Kilian Amber Oud.
