Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Invite Only Amber I 23 EDP
This one's a goner, and the fans are grieving hard. Invite Only Amber I 23 was Kayali's sophisticated, boozy amber-tobacco masterpiece, now sorely missed. It's divisive for some, but a 'femme fatale' winter stunner for its devotees.
Statement
Our Verdict - Forbidden Plum Extrait
This loud, spiced-plum powerhouse is a divisive one. Fans love the intoxicating, beast-mode performance; detractors find it overpowering, lacking the original's subtlety. You'll either adore its bold confidence or find it far too much.

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

This powerful, long-lasting scent with significant sillage is far too commanding for an office setting. However, its sexy, luxurious character is perfectly suited for date nights and formal winter occasions, though too heavy for casual daytime wear.
