Which Should You Buy?
This one's a goner, and the fans are grieving hard. Invite Only Amber I 23 was Kayali's sophisticated, boozy amber-tobacco masterpiece, now sorely missed. It's divisive for some, but a 'femme fatale' winter stunner for its devotees.
A budget reading of Kayali's Invite Only Amber 23. VIP III captures the succulent black cherry, honey and tobacco opening over a warm amber-vanilla base, but Perfume Parlour's take reads sweeter and a touch more synthetic, with the resinous oud-amber depth flatter and shorter-lived than the original's eight-to-ten hours.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
This powerful, long-lasting scent with significant sillage is far too commanding for an office setting. However, its sexy, luxurious character is perfectly suited for date nights and formal winter occasions, though too heavy for casual daytime wear.
Seasons
The warm amber, honey and cherry gourmand character is rich and cosy, made for cooler autumn and winter wear.
Occasions
Its sweet, sensual warmth suits date nights, evenings out and cosy occasions far more than the office or the gym.
