What does Ambra Obscura smell like?

Juniper, benzoin, patchouli, tonka bean, labdanum and vanilla read together. Vanilla and tonka pull it towards a creamy sweetness, labdanum and benzoin add resinous warmth, and patchouli gives an earthy, woody backdrop. Musk softens the whole and keeps it close to the skin.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good; most voters score longevity high, though the number of votes is small. Its dense, warm build leans towards cooler weather. Ex Voto Eau de Luxe - Amber and Scent Trunk Sensuous Amber have a close profile.
