Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ambroise Pour Femme
This ‘dupe’ is dividing opinions like Marmite, but many reckon it's a stellar achievement in its own right-a deep, unisex charmer that rivals the big names for a fraction of the price. The cherry and oud combo is compelling, despite some calling out a 'nail varnish' opening.

Our Verdict - Aquila Absolute
This one's a divisive delight. Some find it a masterful blend of fruity oud and leather, while others are put off by its sweetness or perceived harshness. Definitely sample it first, because you'll either love how unique it is or find it totally not your vibe.

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

The rich, warm, and somewhat heavy accords of oud, leather, and cherry make it too potent for an office setting and unsuitable for sport. It truly shines on dates or more formal evenings where its depth and sensuality can be appreciated. Casual wear is possible if applied lightly, especially in cooler weather.
