What does Ambre Cashmere Intense smell like?

It opens with lemon, black pepper and mandarin orange, a citrus sharpened by spice. In the heart, violet, orris butter and clove bring a soft, powdery floral feel. The base turns creamy and oriental with tonka bean, labdanum, benzoin and vanilla, wrapped in amber and musk.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, while summer plays a small part. It wears easily for evenings, nights out and leisure time. It reads more feminine to many, though a fair share find it masculine.
