What does Amber Wave smell like?

The top pairs mandarin orange, ozonic notes, sea minerals and pink pepper for a bright, salty feel. In the heart, saffron, leather, labdanum, geranium and woody notes add spice and warmth. The base of styrax, ambroxan, frankincense and oud settles into a sweet, creamy woodiness with a synthetic edge.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, and most voters say it stays on the skin for a long time. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a first indication. Its profile is close to Sãlum Marine Oud and Lattafa Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud.
