Is this a good choice for people who don't like very sweet fragrances?+−
While it contains sweet accords, the sweetness is derived from resins and ylang-ylang rather than gourmand sugar. The prominence of cedar, patchouli, and sandalwood provides a dry, woody counterweight that prevents it from becoming cloying.
How does this perform in a professional or office setting?+−
Given its strong sillage and resinous intensity, it is generally recommended for evening wear, leisure, or nights out. It may be a bit too heavy and distracting for a confined office environment during the day.
Does the rose note make this smell like a "grandma" perfume?+−
The rose in Amber of Yemen serves as a top note to add elegance to the opening, but it quickly gives way to a heart of geranium and a heavy base of amber and woods. It smells more like a traditional Middle Eastern amber than a classic floral bouquet.
How should I apply this considering its performance?+−
Because of its concentrated resinous profile and excellent longevity, a little goes a long way. Many users recommend starting with a light application, as the sillage is quite noticeable to those around you.
