So Amber
As someone who is definitely guilty of owning countless tuberose fragrances; happily buying yet another one because of something like "but this one has pineapple in the open!!", I'm the complete opposite about Ambers. Hence, how I think about the ones I have tend to reflect this, ie "yeah I love this, very amber-y"
If I try to give it more of a tuberose treatment I would say this is indeed primarily "copaiba" and "amyris" -- or a powdery slightly sweet woody sandalwood. More of the "smell of antique wooden furniture" type of woody; no detectable patchouli and not at all hippie-headshop related.
It's smooth but slightly fizzy, with a touch of nutmeg and cinnamon to give it a little autumn/holiday edge.
It's fairly linear, I have a fairly large amount of fragrances and our "amber season" here is pretty short; this might be a little tiresome if worn regularly. Worn occasionally though it is a delightful way to welcome fall, and not so heavy that if (when) it inevitably warms up in the afternoon you will feel smothered.
