Is Eden Perfumes No.283 Ambra a dupe of Acqua di Parma Ambra?
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive beast. Acqua di Parma's Ambra is either a dirty-sexy, aquatic-animalic masterpiece for the confident, or an off-putting, burnt rubber mess. The defining, salty ambergris note is not for everyone, so spray with caution and don't blind buy.
Modelled on Acqua di Parma's Ambra, this No.283 keeps the citrus-Italian opening and resinous amber base but trades the original's marine-salty ambergris complexity for a simpler, warmer amber-woody read with shorter legs.
