Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - West Side EDP
This one is a properly divisive beast - people either rave about its boozy rose and vanilla elegance or recoil from a sickly, synthetic mess. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so test it before you commit to a full bottle.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Super Amber EDP
Prepare for a proper debate, because Super Amber is seriously divisive. For some, it's a 'barely there' skin scent that's cosy and warm, but for others, it's an outright scrubber, hitting notes from 'fecal' to 'morning breath'. You'll either love this or hate it, with very little in between.

Season and Occasion Fit

West Side

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong projection and rich, boozy gourmand notes make it too imposing for office wear but perfect for dates and evening events. Casual wear is possible, especially in cooler weather, but it's certainly more dressy than relaxed.

Super Amber

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its generally weak projection and close-to-skin nature make it suitable for office wear and casual settings, as it won't offend. However, the intimate sillage limits its impact for formal events or lively dates. Many reviews highlight its 'cuddle scent' quality, perfect for relaxed, personal moments.
