What does Ambra Calabria smell like?

Most voters recommend spring and summer, with autumn further behind and winter chosen rarely. Leisure, daily wear and business are the occasions named most often. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. It doesn't read clearly masculine or feminine, since votes split fairly evenly between the two.

Galbanum, green leaves and Calabrian bergamot lead, giving a green, citrusy opening. Coriander seed and jasmine in the heart add a touch of spice and flowers. Musk, amber and vanilla form a sweet, creamy base underneath.
