What does Ambilux / 50 ml d'Ambiguïté smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring is not far behind. It is chosen mostly for evenings, leisure time and nights out. Masculine leads the character votes with feminine close behind, so it sits somewhere between the two.

As a whole, the soft floral side of ylang-ylang meets the spicy, animal edge of cumin and costus. Frankincense adds a resinous, smoky depth, and everlasting flower brings a dry, earthy note. The result is a dark, rugged floral rather than a sweet one. Zoologist Tyrannosaurus Rex and Bogue LiTA have a close profile.
