What does Amber Gold smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer the least chosen. It leans towards evenings and nights out. Masculine and feminine votes are almost level, so it sits comfortably on either.

The opening pairs the brightness of tangerine with the spice of coriander. In the heart the flowers turn creamy and sweet, with orange blossom, tobacco flower and almond blossom blending together. Patchouli and musk leave a woody, resinous, oriental warmth underneath.
