Which Should You Buy?
Prada Amber Intense is a sophisticated, clean-yet-dark amber bomb for the grown-up gent. It's a divisive one - some find it a dated 'grandpa' scent, but fans hail it as a masterpiece, often drawing comparisons to Tom Ford Noir.
A truly underrated gem, 5th Avenue Royale punches well above its weight class. It's a dark, rich, and sophisticated experience at a bargain price, although its divisive patchouli and variable longevity means it's not for everyone.
