Which Should You Buy?
This is a rich, warm, and comforting amber that has achieved cult status. It's garnered a passionate following who cherish its natural depth, making it the benchmark for amber scents, despite its baffling discontinuation.
This one's a mixed bag. Some absolutely adore its dark, resinous charm and impressive longevity; others find it too weak or not jazzy enough, with a few even complaining of 'poopy jasmine' (ouch). Definitely try before you buy, it's not a safe blind purchase.
