ResinousWhat does Ambre Précieux smell like?
It opens with lavender and myrtle, then softens into a heart of vanilla, nutmeg, labdanum and coumarin. Tolu balm, Peru balsam and ambergris form the base. The overall impression is sweet and gourmand, with a woody, powdery and slightly smoky warmth behind it.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and summer rarely gets a vote. It leans towards evenings and nights out. Votes for feminine and masculine are equal, so it reads comfortably on either. Autour du Parfum Ambre Mystère and Omnia Profumi Ambra have a close profile.
