From your scent profile
Ortigia Ambra Nera Eau de Parfum is a sweet, spicy woody fragrance, with resinous, smoky and slightly animalic tones that give it a dark, warm character.
Skunky's take: Comes alive when it gets cold; fall and winter are its seasons.
How does it perform?
From 82 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out, then for leisure. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. It is unisex, with masculine and feminine votes close together.
It opens with woods and spices. In the heart, vetiver, patchouli and cedarwood form a dry, earthy backbone. In the base, galbanum, labdanum and musk bring sweetness and a soft, powdery finish.
