Notes on perfumes.

Ambre Narguile. NST : "Ambre Narguile is meant to evoke cashmere, and features notes of benzoin, labdanum, musk, vanilla, caramel, honey, sugared tonka bean, grilled sesame seeds, cinnamon, rum, coumarine and white orchids. "
It can only smell amber on the skin initially (maybe some of the top notes get lost by decanting...) After 2 hours there's not much left on my skin. Some shade of light floral dipped in honey on an amber backgound. I'd find the drydown interesting because of it's comfort notes and delicacy but my skin drowned too much of it. Secret Obsession might not be as elegantly composed but can't beat the price.
