What does Ambre Fatal smell like?

It opens fruity and sweet with raspberry and caramel. Towards the heart, Bulgarian rose, geranium and frankincense come forward, while benzoin and cypress add a resinous, spicy depth to the floral sweetness. In the base, vanilla absolute, gurjum balsam and gaiac wood soften it and close it with a woody, lightly smoky warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen mostly for leisure, nights out and evenings. Votes tilt slightly masculine, though a sizeable share call it feminine, so it sits comfortably on either side. Novellista Saffron Whisper and Azya Mabda have a close profile.
