Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Roma Eau de Parfum
Roma is a divisive classic, lauded for its unique blend of fresh mint, zesty grapefruit, and deep oriental warmth. Be warned, though, that modern formulations might not deliver the same potent punch as the vintage bottles did.

Our Verdict - Ambre des Abysses Eau de Parfum
Divisive, complex, and a touch chaotic - this one splits the crowd. Some hail it as a masterpiece, a truly unique blend of clean freshness and deep amber, while others find it a "mess" that leans too sweet or smells like earwax. Approach with caution; it's not a safe blind buy.
