Which Should You Buy?
Prada Amber Intense is a sophisticated, clean-yet-dark amber bomb for the grown-up gent. It's a divisive one - some find it a dated 'grandpa' scent, but fans hail it as a masterpiece, often drawing comparisons to Tom Ford Noir.
Prepare for a proper cinnamon storm, as Iris Fauve delivers a warm, spicy wallop. If you're after a delicate iris, you'll be disappointed, but if rich, enveloping amber with a hint of powdery mystique is your jam, you're in for a treat. Just don't expect it to stick around all day.
