Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ambré
Baldessarini Ambré is a beautiful, budget-friendly amber-leather scent with a loyal following, but its notorious weak performance means it's often a heartbreak in a bottle. If you're willing to overspray, you're in for a treat.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Heroic II
A budget take on Baldessarini Ambre's fruity-amber masculine. Heroic II nails the juicy mandarin-and-apple opening and the warm amber-vanilla drydown, but flattens the original's leathery, boozy depth into something softer and quicker to fade.

Season and Occasion Fit

Ambré

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate projection and warm, inviting accords make it ideal for close-quarter situations like dates and quieter office environments. Several reviews highlight its suitability for formal settings and cooler weather, but its limited sillage means it won't overwhelm an office, yet it's too rich for sport.

Heroic II

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The warm amber-vanilla and fruity-sweet character feel cosy in autumn and winter cold, too heavy for summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its warm, easygoing fruity-amber suits evenings, dates and casual wear over strict formality or sport.
