Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Optimystic
This is a decent, more affordable take on D&G The One EDP, offering a brighter opening and comparable drydown. Performance is typical for the genre-good for a few hours before settling close to the skin.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Amber Room
This is a truly gorgeous amber, taking the best bits of other premium ambers and polishing them up. It's a crowd-pleasing, smooth amber, though some find it a touch too traditional or similar to other fragrances on the market.
