What does Amphorae 56 smell like?

It opens with Brazilian orange and birch bark, the orange's fruity brightness set against the birch's smoky, leathery edge. In the heart, Omani frankincense, Singapore patchouli and Bourbon vanilla come in: the frankincense adds a resinous depth, the vanilla sweetens, and the patchouli strengthens the woody side. The base of musk and Indian cypriol dries down soft yet earthy and warm. Voters rate it highly, though they find its value for money low. Its profile is close to Xerjoff Aurum and Necalli Azad.
