Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ambré EDT
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.

Our Verdict - 472 La Belle EDP
No.472 mirrors JPG La Belle's pear-and-vanilla gourmand core convincingly at first spray, but the leather-rose heart is much fainter here, so the fragrance reads sweeter and simpler with none of the original's smoky contrast.
