S.T. Dupont Royal Amber is a unisex scent that pairs a sweet, spicy amber with a leathery, resinous woodiness, and it suits autumn and winter evenings best.

What does Royal Amber smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, spring follows, and very few choose summer. Evening and night-out wear lead, with leisure use close behind. Masculine and feminine votes are almost even, so it sits comfortably on either side.

Pink pepper, geranium and saffron open with spice. In the heart, amber, sandalwood and Atlas cedar build a sweet warmth, and leather, oud and patchouli deepen it at the base. The gourmand sweetness is held in check by the spice, leaving a leathery, woody trail.
