Which Should You Buy?
A legendary scent, oft-mourned and highly sought after since its discontinuation. This oriental gem takes the original Amour's comforting rice-pudding sweetness and enriches it with a deep, smoky incense and benzoin embrace. It's a powerhouse of warmth and sophistication, but be warned: a light touch is key to avoid overwhelming its magic.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it beast, and the old formulation is clearly regarded as superior. If you can get your hands on a vintage bottle, prepare for an earthy, smoky amber that demands attention.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent projection and longevity, combined with its rich amber and incense profile, makes it less suited for a daily office wear. However, these same characteristics, along with its 'intoxicating' and 'sensual' nature mentioned by reviewers, make it perfect for date nights and formal events, particularly in cooler weather.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
This powerful, long-lasting scent with significant sillage means it’s definitely not for the office. Its rich, sensual nature and complex profile make it perfect for a dramatic date night or a formal evening, but it's far too heavy for casual wear or sport.
