Tales of Amber
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
Divisive and intense, this Lattafa offering is a beast of a patchouli, polarising opinion with its green, earthy-to-near-gasoline punch. Love it or hate it, it's undeniably bold and long-lasting, a proper statement scent for those who dare.
Prepare for a proper debate with this one. Goldfield & Banks promised a tale of amber, but delivered a surprisingly divisive, iris-heavy narrative that's left many scratching their heads and a few absolutely captivated. It's either a masterful, nuanced take on amber or a total let-down, depending on who you ask.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.
Occasions
Its intensity and strong projection make it less suitable for the office space, risking offending others. However, its sophisticated and bold character, especially the 'gentlemanly vibe' noted by some, makes it a good fit for formal events or introspective casual wear rather than casual outings or dates.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
With strong projection and long longevity reported by many, this scent isn't ideal for a discreet office setting but shines on a date. Its complex and elegant profile makes it suitable for formal events, while its richness might be too much for casual daytime wear or sport.
