What does Bright Amber smell like?

The top is plum, mandarin orange, date, fig and raisin, with a dried-fruit, jammy sweetness. In the heart, jasmine, spices and ylang-ylang add a soft floral note. Cinnamon leads the base, while blond tobacco, amber and tonka bean settle it into something warm and powdery.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is not firm. The warm, spiced build suits cooler weather best. It reads neither masculine nor feminine. Kenzo L'Eau par Kenzo Eau Indigo pour Femme and Redwood Alchemy 1978 have a close profile.
