What does No 48: Glowing Amber smell like?

Moroccan rose absolute, benzoin, Peru balsam and labdanum carry the weight of the scent, while Bourbon vanilla absolute and vanillin sweeten that resinous base. Frankincense and cedarwood add a faintly smoky, woody tone, and geranium and orris concrete support the floral side. Bergamot and vetiver stay in the background.

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick it for nights out and evenings, with leisure wear not far behind. It is positioned as a women's fragrance and has been discontinued. Trussardi The Courtyards of Castello Sforzesco and Jeroboam Ambra have a close profile.
