What does Ambre de Noir smell like?

The top opens with green notes, Persian saffron and herbaceous notes, the saffron bringing out the spicy side. In the heart, Shamamatul amber attar, Thai frangipani, Thai magnolia and Cuban tobacco join floral softness to smoky depth. The base of Indian amber, Bourbon vanilla and Brazilian tonka bean adds sweetness, wrapped in Indian sandalwood and Irish ambergris.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays on the skin for a long time without filling the room. Sitting evenly between masculine and feminine, it suits anyone who likes warm, dense amber scents.
