WoodyWhat does XIII Eau d'Ambre smell like?
Longevity and sillage are moderate, though the small number of ratings makes this a loose guide. Voters place it mostly in leisure and daily wear, with business use close behind. Masculine and feminine votes are equal, so it sits comfortably between the two.
It opens fresh and citrusy with grapefruit, blood orange and apple. The heart brings tonka bean, cedar leaf, freesia and patchouli, where the floral and woody sides come through. In the base, tobacco, sandalwood, vanilla and amber add a sweet, powdery, slightly smoky warmth. Its profile is close to Jennifer Lopez Deseo for Men and Hayari Only for Her (Eau de Parfum).
