Dark Amber and Ginger Lily is a cheery floral woody amber. In spite of those deep, dark base notes, it comes on softer than the notes would suggest. I find it more suited for daytime/office wear, and it seems very feminine to me, though it could possibly work on the right man, too.

Of the Jo Malone scents I have tried, this has the second-longest persistence, and it really made it through an entire workday pretty well. The orchid note in this one is very distinct. The floral notes grow softer over time, but I could still detect a faint trace of sweet orchid tampering those heavy base notes, right up through the last lingering traces. I don't pick up the leather in this one at all. (To be fair, I am used to "powerhouse" leathers like Azuree or Cabochard or Bandit. If the leather is here, it's obviously more subtle than it is in the aforementioned fragrances.)

Of interest to bargain hunters: I found this scent to be similar to Avon's Chic in Black (or Little Black Dress, for European Avon fans). The scents are not identical, but I have the body cream in Chic in Black, and it layers well and helps extend the scent of Dark Amber and Ginger Lily, at a very economical price.

Lovely, spices incense & amber. perfectly balanced.
Not too sweet, smokey or woody.
This is definately a perfume for a confidant woman. I have a hard time picturing it on a man.
Very similar to TF Black orchid v.d.f.
Dark, mysterious, sexy. I wish I had the bigger bottle allthough it feels quite concentrated and just a couple of sprays makes for a good sillage. A long-lasting attention-grabber

More a man than a woman fragrance! I loved it at the beginning but then it appeared to be too spicy for me.

This is a nice light fragrance. It has a soft woody note to it, with a slight sweet undertone. I would consider this fragrance for everday office wear for both men and women.
