PowderyWhat does Ambre Mystérieux smell like?
The top pairs bergamot with rosewood for a citrusy, lightly woody start. Heliotrope and jasmine in the heart add a soft, powdery floral touch. In the base, amber, tonka bean and musk take over, leaving a sweet, gourmand scent with a faint animal warmth.
Longevity is rated moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and leaves a quiet trail. It has been discontinued and is positioned as a women's fragrance.
