Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ambre 114 Eau de Parfum
This is a seriously solid amber, leaning into classic territory without feeling dated. Ignore the whingers who find it too powdery or boring; it’s a beautifully blended, warm embrace that’s an easy reach for amber lovers. Some lament dilution in recent formulations, but it still performs well enough for most.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Istanbul Eau de Parfum
A truly gorgeous, comforting amber that's not afraid of a bit of spice and a fresh aromatic kick. It's divisive only because some say its performance is poor, but the scent itself is a hug in a bottle.
