What does Amber Arabesque smell like?

It opens with bergamot and orange, fruity notes and a sweetness of sugar powder. In the heart, raspberry leaf, geranium, pink pepper and damask rose meet spices for a floral, green feel. The base sets an earthy, smoky chypre ground of vetiver, patchouli, oakmoss and precious woods, sweetened by amber, tonka bean and vanilla.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards nights out and evenings. Votes split between masculine and feminine, so it reads in between. Moresque Amberesque and The Dua Brand Ballet of Amber have a close profile.
