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 - 299 Ambre Nuit Oil
299 pairs damask rose with an ambergris-woody base to echo Dior's Ambre Nuit, capturing the rose-amber warmth reasonably well, though it lacks the original's deep, resinous complexity and the citrus opening fades faster than the real Private Collection composition.
