Neroli and lemon open it fresh, then sycamore wood, sweetgrass and cedarwood give it a woody body. Vanilla, amber and patchouli leave a sweet, powdery, resinous warmth at the base.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is also chosen for evenings, nights out and the office. It reads masculine and classic. Hermès L'Ambre des Merveilles and Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan have a close profile.
