Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ambre Nuit EDP
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.

Our Verdict - 522 Ambre Nuit EDP
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.
