Is Blossom Perfumery 522 Ambre Nuit a dupe of Dior Ambre Nuit?
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This is a truly divisive one. Some rave about its luxurious, cosy perfection, calling it a masterpiece that can be worn anywhere. Others say it's weak, unoriginal, and smells like an old lady or even 'whale vomit'. Best to try before you buy.
522 | Inspired by Ambre Nuit follows Dior's 2009 amber-rose blueprint closely at the notes level, but the ambergris-patchouli base is thinner and fades faster, missing the velvety richness that made the original a cult niche pick.
