Neil Morris Fragrances Burnt Amber is a warm, dense unisex scent that pairs smoky, resinous amber with a sweet, fruity side, and it suits cold-season evenings.

What does Burnt Amber smell like?

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening or a night out as the occasion. Opinion is split on whether it reads masculine or feminine, leaning slightly masculine. Few choose it for summer.

Amber, oud and oak build a woody frame, while smoke and castoreum pull it toward an animal, smoky tone. Black pepper adds spice, and plum blossom brings a fruity, gourmand sweetness. The oriental character dominates.
