Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cuir Amethyste EDP
A truly polarising scent. Some find Cuir Amethyste's violet-leather combo divine, a "holy grail" of elegance and sensuality. Others recoil from a "chemical soup," or a "wet animal hide" with cloying sweetness. Expect love-it-or-hate-it reactions.

Our Verdict - Levante Extrait
Levante is Aromara's take on Louis Vuitton Ambre Levant, matching the saffron-rose-incense-oud signature at a fraction of the near-£400 original. The quiet-luxury amber-oud warmth carries through convincingly, with a slightly less refined, more straightforward oud than LV's own material.
