What does Malesia smell like?

Pink pepper and amyris open with a spicy, woody edge, moving into the warmth of Laotian oud and amber. In the base, labdanum, tonka bean and vanilla sweeten it. Fruity and oriental accords carry the sweetness, while resinous and animal tones add weight.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards leisure time, evenings and nights out. More voters call it masculine than feminine, though a fair share see it as feminine. Givenchy Ambre Tigré and Tom Ford Amber Absolute have a close profile.
