What does Amygdala smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated strong, though these ratings rest on only a few votes. The dense character suits cooler weather and wearers who want to be noticed, on men and women alike.

It opens with arabica coffee, Ceylonese cinnamon and pink pepper, a warm and spicy start. In the heart, orange blossom, jasmine sambac, ylang-ylang, galbanum and violet leaf hold floral and green together, giving a powdery, creamy texture. The base of vetiver, gaiac wood and labdanum settles into a woody, earthy and smoky ground. Oriza L. Legrand Gentry Jockey Club and Raer Scents No. 07: Orris Root have a close profile.
