What does Freya's Amber smell like?

Amber and black amber give it a warm, sweet base, while labdanum and frankincense add a resinous, slightly smoky edge. Cedar and oakmoss bring a woody, powdery depth, and the spicy and oriental accords round it out.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring third and summer well behind. Leisure, evening and night out are the favoured occasions. Though classed as a women's fragrance, voters are split between feminine and masculine. Prada Babylon and Tom Ford Amber Absolute have a close profile.
