What does Rive d'Ambre smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter the least chosen season. Daily wear, leisure and business are the most voted occasions. Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads as suited to either.

Bergamot, lemon and bitter orange give it a lively citrus start, and tarragon and spearmint add a herbal freshness. Cardamom brings a light touch of spice. Amber, benzoin and tolu balm bring a sweet, resinous warmth, softened by cognac and pear tree wood.
