Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ambassador Intense Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper polariser. It's got serious Sauvage Elixir vibes, but dialled up on the fruit and sweetness, making it either a brilliant, more versatile alternative or a headache-inducing synthetic mess, depending on who you ask. Definitely a 'try before you buy' situation.
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.
