What does Ambre à Sade smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, with leisure and daily wear following. Most voters read it as feminine.

The top is blackberry, caramel, strawberry and woodland strawberry. In the heart, cinnamon tree, Virginia cedar and raspberry add spice and wood to the sweetness. The base of Russian leather, vanilla, tonka bean and patchouli settles warm and leathery. Stéphane Humbert Lucas Venom Incarnat and French Avenue Veneno Scarlet have a close profile.
