What does Ambre Capucines smell like?

The top notes are thyme, cistus, coriander and orange, giving a spicy, lightly citrusy start. At the heart, tonka bean, vanilla, heliotrope, geranium and patchouli add a sweet, powdery softness. In the base, Peru balsam, myrrh, vetiver and musk settle into a resinous, earthy dry-down.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards leisure, evening and night-out wear. It reads neither clearly feminine nor masculine, with votes split almost evenly between the two. Perfumes with a close profile include Histoires de Parfums Ambre 114 and Maître Parfumeur et Gantier Ambre Mythique.
