Which Should You Buy?
A truly gorgeous, dark, sweet, and smooth legend from Issey Miyake's Nuit line. Polaris is sadly discontinued, so if you happen upon a bottle don't hesitate to snatch it up - it's a masterpiece.
Louis Vuitton's Ambre Levant channels 'golden hour' amber-oud opulence, and this dupe reproduces the mandarin-cinnamon opening and amber-incense heart well, though the Bangladesh oud's rare, aged character is inevitably approximated with a more generic wood.
