What does Ambra (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Bergamot gives a light, bright start. In the heart, amber and myrrh take over and pull the scent towards a spicy, oriental tone. Sandalwood and patchouli build a woody base underneath; the sweetness stays in view, yet the fresh edge never disappears entirely.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it suits evenings best, followed by leisure and daily wear. Votes for masculine and feminine are almost level, so it sits comfortably between the two. Prada Amber pour Homme Intense and Evody Bois Secret have a close profile.
