Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a bold, confident blast of earthy patchouli and rich amber - a sophisticated scent for those who appreciate a strong statement, and definitely not one for the timid.
Modelled on Acqua di Parma's Ambra, this No.283 keeps the citrus-Italian opening and resinous amber base but trades the original's marine-salty ambergris complexity for a simpler, warmer amber-woody read with shorter legs.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its rich, amber-patchouli profile, make it less suitable for office wear. However, its elegance and perceived sexiness are perfect for formal events and date nights, where its bold character can truly shine.
