Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pride
This one's a bit divisive, but if you're after a sophisticated, amber-driven scent with a surprising fruitiness, Pride delivers. Some say it's an Iris bomb, others praise its complexity. Don't expect huge projection, but it certainly smells expensive.

Our Verdict - Ambitious
Divisive, complex, and a touch challenging, Ambitious is either a glorious amber-woody masterpiece or a peculiar, mouldy beast. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get it' are utterly smitten.

Season and Occasion Fit

Pride

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its sophisticated amber and leather profile, coupled with a moderate performance, makes it unsuitable for vigorous activities but perfect for formal events and romantic evenings. While a touch too elegant for everyday casual wear, it could work for a relaxed yet refined outing.

Ambitious

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong, resinous character and polarizing reviews, this fragrance is best reserved for evening wear or intimate settings like dates, where its complexity can be appreciated. It's likely too intense for an office environment and completely unsuitable for casual or sport wear.
