What does Ambre Cristal smell like?
Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin without filling the room. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide.
The top notes of pink pepper, cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg open spicy. In the heart, frankincense, leather, rose and saffron add a resinous, lightly smoky, leathery layer. The base of tonka bean, sandalwood, amberwood and oud settles into a sweet, woody finish. Parfums MDCI Cuir Garamante and Montale Oud Edition have a close profile.
