Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sceptre EDP
Sceptre is a surprisingly gentle amber, managing to be regal and comforting without shouting from the rooftops. While some find it too dusty or overpriced, many agree it's a beautifully blended, warm oriental.

Our Verdict - Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy Ambre Velours EDP
A divisive, dark amber rose for the bold. Some find it a gothic delight, others a rubbery nightmare. Definitely not one for a blind buy unless you like a risk.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sceptre

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate projection and warm, comforting nature make it suitable for various settings, though its rich amber and myrrh lean more towards evening or cooler weather. It's a bit too refined for active casual wear but works well for an intimate date or a sophisticated formal event.

Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy Ambre Velours

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This fragrance isn't for the office due to its intensity and presence, which could be overwhelming. It truly excels on a date or for formal events, where its luxurious and sophisticated character can shine without competing with other scents. Its warm, resinous nature makes it less suitable for casual or sporty wear.
