Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ambre Eau de Parfum
This amber is a proper crowd-pleaser for those who love a warm, spicy hug of a scent. It's affordable, versatile, and punches well above its price point, though some find it a bit too safe or not amber enough. A solid choice for amber enthusiasts looking for everyday wear.

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.
