Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Amber Intense

Prada Amber Intense is a sophisticated, clean-yet-dark amber bomb for the grown-up gent. It's a divisive one - some find it a dated 'grandpa' scent, but fans hail it as a masterpiece, often drawing comparisons to Tom Ford Noir.

Our Verdict - Eaudemoiselle Essence des Palais

A divisive, take-no-prisoners Arabian Nights fantasy, but if you're after a bold, Middle Eastern inspired scent with European restraint and plenty of gothic allure, this is your jam. Discontinued, but worth chasing down.
