Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mysterious Amber EDP
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Mysterious Amber is a bold, long-lasting incense and amber bomb. Some find it a magnificent Tom Ford clone, others can't scrub it off fast enough. Definitely not for the faint of heart, or nose.
