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.
Divisive and understated, L'Ambre des Merveilles is a softly sparkling amber scent that some adore as a sophisticated skin scent, while others find it too faint, linear, or even a bit 'old school'. Expect a warm embrace rather than a bold declaration.

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 autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and 'skin scent' reputation make it office appropriate, while the warm, inviting amber and vanilla lend themselves well to dates and casual wear. It's less suited for formal events due to its understated nature and not at all for sport.
