What does Olympic Amber smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out. It reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine, sitting somewhere between.

Benzoin, labdanum and vanilla carry the sweetness, while frankincense and resins add a dry depth. Patchouli, woods and cypress build an earthy, woody base, and spicy, smoky and faintly animal tones deepen the warmth. Atelier des Ors Larmes du Désert and Tom Ford Amber Absolute have a close profile.
