Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Amber Santal EDP
Ajmal's Amber Santal is a divisive one. Many find it a sophisticated, dry woody amber that evokes ancient mystique, while others lament its subtle nature, a lack of prominent amber, and a peppery opening that sticks around too long. Definitely one to sample before committing.

Our Verdict - Inkredible EDP
A budget take on Louis Vuitton's Ink Mark from the Journey to China collection, echoing its restrained sandalwood-incense-amber build. It is simpler and less powdery-nuanced than the original's slow evolution from a coconut-rice opening into smoky wood, but keeps the disciplined, incense-forward character.
