Which Should You Buy?
Proud of You Amber is a gorgeous amber-vanilla scent that punches above its weight in smell, delivering a smooth, modern warmth. However, its weak performance is a significant drawback that holds it back from true greatness. Consider it for the price, but don't expect it to last.
This one's a slow burner, not an instant hit, but give El Capitán Elixir a second chance and you'll find a complex, amber-led scent that's far more interesting than first sniff suggests. A solid, unique offering from Gulf Orchid.

Occasions
Given its smooth, polished amber and vanilla profile, this scent works well for both casual and date settings, described as wearing equally well dressed up or down. Its generally poor performance means it's suitable for office wear where it won't project too much, but less ideal for formal events where a stronger presence might be desired.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its rich amber and warm spicy accords make it a bit much for the office or sport, but perfect for evenings. The sophisticated dry-down lends itself well to both date nights and formal events, hitting a sweet spot for intimacy.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Amber, Vanilla, Lavender accords and Lavender, Amber notes
