What does Amphorae 17 smell like?

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong, though the vote counts are small. It reads unisex rather than clearly masculine or feminine. There is no season or occasion data, so nothing can be said about when it suits best.

It opens with violet leaf, amber and davana, giving a fresh, spicy start. The heart turns resinous with myrrh, Siam benzoin and Omani frankincense. The base of tonka bean, musk, Bourbon vanilla and Australian sandalwood leaves a woody, oriental, slightly leathery warmth, with an animal edge in the background. NANA.M Rêve Érotique and Tiziana Terenzi Leonis I have a close profile.
