What do reviewers say about Velvet Amber Sun and Ambre Passion?
The frankincense and oud in the base give Velvet Amber Sun real staying power. It's bold enough to turn heads, but the vanilla and amber keep it from being aggressive. Smell it before you commit.Velvet Amber Sun
This is an approachable oriental that plays it safe on paper, amber, vanilla, tonka, but the geranium keeps it honest. The drydown is where it lives: sandalwood and cedar that stay close, intimate.Ambre Passion
