Description Ambre Topkapi is not (as the name might suggest) an amber fragrance. Its scent is elusive and complex making it easier to define the fragrance by that which it is not. Upon application citrus fruits and spices are immediately recognizable. The spices, notably cardamom, give the fragrance an exotic touch and serve as a segue to the musky, animalic base dominated by leather and sandalwood.
