Which Should You Buy?
This is a serious, grown-up amber, not for the faint of heart. It's divisive, adored by those who appreciate its unique, melancholic elegance and disliked by those expecting a sweet, traditional amber. A blind buy for amber lovers, but proceed with caution.
This is a beloved, smooth tobacco-amber fragrance from Daniel Josier, lauded by many as a fantastic-smelling, long-lasting gem. Some find it a bit too sweet and gourmand, or not 'tobacco' enough, but it consistently receives high praise for its quality and appeal, often compared favorably to more expensive niche options.
