What does Ambre Khandjar smell like?

The top holds black plum and mandarin orange; the heart brings labdanum absolute, ylang-ylang, orris absolute and vanilla. It settles onto patchouli, sandalwood and benzoin. The overall impression is sweet, spicy and woody, with the fruity brightness fading back behind a resinous, smoky warmth.

Longevity is strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and lean towards evenings and nights out. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it sits comfortably on either. Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan (Eau de Parfum) and Mancera Red Tobacco have a close profile.
