What does Secrets d'Essences - Voile d'Ambre (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is worn for evenings and nights out as well as for daily use. Most voters read its character as feminine.

It opens with green mandarin and cardamom, which give a lightly spiced freshness. In the heart, myrrh, frankincense and opoponax build a smoky, resinous warmth. Bourbon vanilla sweetens the base, while patchouli and sandalwood leave a woody, powdery floor.
