What does Amandes Orientales smell like?

The scent rests on a sweet, gourmand base: vanilla and roasted almond soften each other, while the smoky notes add a dry edge. Spicy, woody and powdery accords come forward, with earthy and animal shades staying in the background.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. More voters call it feminine than masculine, though a fair share see it the other way. Gaultier² and Hugo Boss Exhilarating Vanilla have a close profile.
