ResinousWhat does Single smell like?
It opens on amber. Patchouli, tonka bean and Peru balsam sit in the heart, settling into sandalwood, labdanum, musk, vanilla and gaiac wood at the base. A creamy, resinous softness runs through it, with the sweetness coming from vanilla and tonka bean.
Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small. It has a warm, full profile that can sit on men and women alike. Laura Mercier Ambre Passion and Hermès L'Ambre des Merveilles have a close profile.
