What does Amun Re - The Tears of Ra smell like?

The top holds hawthorn, cassia, opoponax, gaiac wood and linden blossom, while lemon, ylang-ylang, angelica root and aldehydes make up the heart. The base sweetens with ambrette, vanilla, honey, amber and henna, leaning into a resinous, smoky warmth. The overall feel is floral and oriental, with a woody frame behind it.

Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, so it sits close and leaves a measured trail. It suits men and women alike, especially those who enjoy dense, sweet orientals. Its profile is close to Memo Paris Tiger's Nest and Penhaligon's As Sawira.
