Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper head-turner, but the drama isn't just in the scent; it's in the price tag and the baffling 'bundle-only' release. Amber Star is a complex, indulgent ambergris dream that should be flying off shelves, but Xerjoff's marketing has made it a cult classic rather than a crowd-pleaser.
Solaris chases Xerjoff Amber Star's golden-hour amber-and-ylang glow. The opening lands close, but the guaiac-myrrh heart and vanilla-sandalwood base thin out faster and read less resinous than Amber Star's dense original.
