What does Amber Intrigue smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters place it in the evening or a night out, though it also gets worn for leisure. Voters call it masculine more often than feminine, with a sizeable feminine share too, so it sits comfortably on either side.
Date, cinnamon and frankincense lead, with fruity sweetness meeting spice and resin. In the heart, Haitian vetiver and sandalwood lay a woody, powdery base, and labdanum and amber carry the warmth and the faint smokiness into the dry-down.
