Skunky's take: Opens sweet, so if sugar is not your thing, think twice.

What does 28 Peau d'Ambre smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable up close without filling the room. Most voters pick fall and winter, and summer barely comes up. Leisure, evening and night-out wear lead the occasions. Votes split almost evenly between masculine and feminine, so it sits comfortably in between.

Amber, benzoin and opoponax carry the centre, giving a soft, sweet, resinous warmth. Frankincense and fir balsam add a smoky, woody edge to that sweetness, while leather darkens the spicy feel.
