What does Amber Wood smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is most often linked to evenings and nights out. Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Though unisex, most voters read it as leaning masculine. It has been discontinued.

It opens with Greek saffron, cistus and frankincense, a resinous, spicy start. Birch and amber form the heart, where smoky and leathery tones come forward. Java vetiver and sandalwood close it on an earthy, woody base.
