What does Aoud Ambre smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is suggested above all for nights out and evenings. Though filed as a women's perfume, feminine and masculine votes sit close together, so it reads as in between.

The notes are amber, Indian cistus and oud. Amber and cistus bring the sweetness and resinous warmth, while oud pushes the woody, smoky side forward. Floral and spicy accords stay in the background, with a faint animal edge. Cartier Oud & Ambre and Massimo Dutti Red Evening have a close profile.
