What does Extreme Amber smell like?

Both its longevity and projection are rated strong. Most voters recommend autumn and winter, with spring further behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and is also worn for leisure. Though unisex, most voters read it as feminine.

It opens with bergamot and caramel; the bergamot gives a brief freshness before the caramel brings the sweetness forward. The heart of lily of the valley, rose and patchouli adds a floral, faintly earthy layer. In the base, vanilla, musk, tonka bean and amber settle into a creamy, powdery, spicy warmth. Joop! Le Bain (Eau de Parfum) and Asabi № 3 Intense have a close profile.
