Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cinnabar EDP
A powerhouse of pure spice and amber that screams vintage glamour like few others. It's a divisive beast: some find it a sublime, comforting classic, others an overpowering relic. The reformulation saga means hunting down a vintage bottle is often a must for true fans.

Our Verdict - Ambre Premier EDP
A divisive amber, Ambre Premier swings from 'pure magic' to 'harsh rose-patchouli bomb'. Expect a sweet, spicy embrace with a powdery, almost gourmand edge that some adore and others find rather forgettable.

Season and Occasion Fit

Cinnabar

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With its intense warmth, powerful sillage, and incredible longevity, Cinnabar isn't an office-friendly scent. It excels as a statement piece for date nights and formal events, particularly in cooler weather, where its rich character can truly shine.

Ambre Premier

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate projection makes it suitable for office wear if applied lightly, while its warm, sensual nature is perfect for date nights. The sweet and cozy amber makes it a good fit for casual, relaxed settings. However, it's a bit too sweet and cosy for truly formal events and completely inappropriate for sport.
