What does Ambre Tibet smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings, nights out and leisure time. Votes split almost evenly between masculine and feminine, so it suits the season more than a particular gender.

It opens cool and resinous with eucalyptus, davana and cistus. In the heart, patchouli, geranium and rose meet smoked wood, and the scent turns earthy and spicy. It dries down to a warm, sweet base of ambergris, musk, vanilla and sandalwood. Bois 1920 Real Patchouly and Jovoy Psychédélique have a close profile.
