Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ambre Fétiche Eau de Parfum
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - M by Marcel Marongiu Eau de Parfum
This one's a divisive gem. Most people rave about its distinct, niche-like quality, but a fair few find it too strong, masculine, or 'mature'. If you love a bold, smoky-suede number, and can find it, you're in for a treat.

Season and Occasion Fit

Ambre Fétiche Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

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.

Its potent projection and intense smoky, leathery accords make it a bit much for the office. However, its sophisticated and confident character makes it ideal for dates and evening-focused formal events. Reviewers often mention using it for work but imply a lighter hand or for specific environments, reinforcing its strong nature.
