Which Should You Buy?
This collector's edition is essentially the original Le Male Elixir in a flashy new outfit. If you're a devoted collector, go for it; otherwise, stick to the tried-and-tested original. Expect robust performance and a divisive take on the minty opening.
Proud of You Amber is a gorgeous amber-vanilla scent that punches above its weight in smell, delivering a smooth, modern warmth. However, its weak performance is a significant drawback that holds it back from true greatness. Consider it for the price, but don't expect it to last.

Occasions
Given its smooth, polished amber and vanilla profile, this scent works well for both casual and date settings, described as wearing equally well dressed up or down. Its generally poor performance means it's suitable for office wear where it won't project too much, but less ideal for formal events where a stronger presence might be desired.
