Which Should You Buy?
This one's a wild ride. Amouage Overture Woman is a polarising masterpiece: a beast mode, boozy apple and leather concoction that you'll either adore for its bold, luxurious depth or completely recoil from. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit.
A warm embrace of spice and leather, Ambre Cristal is a sophisticated beast. Its character unfolds with a rich complexity, though some may find its woody dry-down a touch too assertive.
