Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ambra EDP
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.

Our Verdict - No.283 Ambra EDP
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.
