Which Should You Buy?
Power of Fire shadows Le Labo's Bergamote 22 with its sparkling bergamot-grapefruit opening over a musky-woody base. The bright citrus and smoky vetiver come through, though it dries down flatter and faster than the niche original.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The sparkling citrus-woody profile is best in spring and summer and loses its lift in cold weather.
Occasions
Clean and versatile, it's a natural for office, casual and daytime wear with enough freshness for light sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its bold, unique ambergris accord and intimate, long-lasting performance make it perfect for dates and formal events where you want to make a statement without overwhelming. However, this same intensity and divisive nature could be too distracting for a typical office environment or casual wear.
