Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Alexandria II Anniversary
This one's a true love-it-or-hate-it beast. If you're a fan of the original Alexandria II, prepare for an amped-up, more animalic ride that's not for the faint of heart. Critics call it challenging, but fans praise its opulent, luxurious depth.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Amber Zest
Amber Zest is a decent everyday wear with an intriguing spicy kick. It's not groundbreaking, but it's universally pleasant and performs without being shouty.
