What does Sandal Amber smell like?

Frankincense leads in both the opening and the heart, joined by sandalwood and amber. The base holds labdanum, patchouli and vanilla: as it dries, vanilla softens the sweetness, while the spicy, smoky and earthy side stays with the patchouli and labdanum.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also works for leisure time. Masculine and feminine votes are close, so it sits comfortably on either. Profumum Roma Patchouly and Tom Ford Amber Absolute have a close profile.
