What does Durra Ambre smell like?

The top is bright with aquatic notes, Italian bergamot, grapefruit and peach, while black pepper and pink pepper add spice. In the heart, honey, rose, jasmine sambac and caramel bring a floral sweetness. The base settles into a soft, creamy ground of vanilla, amber, sandalwood and musk.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter and summer not far behind, and it is chosen most for nights out and evenings. Voters lean towards calling it masculine, yet its floral sweetness keeps it somewhere in between. Boadicea the Victorious Empire and The Spirit of Dubai Narjesi have a close profile.
