Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Caftan EDP
Caftan is a truly divisive scent; some rave about its luxurious incense and amber, calling it a masterpiece, while others dismiss it as an "old lady's closet" or overly synthetic baby powder. Test before you invest in this love-it-or-hate-it amber bomb.

Our Verdict - Ambra EDP
A truly gorgeous, refined amber that's both warm and surprisingly fresh. It divides opinion with its quirky opening, but dries down to a comforting, luxurious scent. Etro knows their stuff, even if some wish it shouted a bit louder.
