ResinousWhat does Reflets d'ambre smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated good, and most voters point to evenings and nights out, with some also choosing leisure time and business wear. It reads unisex rather than leaning to one gender.
It opens with pink pepper, which adds a light spiciness. In the heart, hedione and Jasminum grandiflorum give a floral frame. The base of patchouli, labdanum and vanilla settles into a powdery, creamy, oriental sweetness. Byredo Slow Dance and Carolina Herrera Amber Desire have a close profile.
