Which Should You Buy?
Divisive yet undeniably compelling, Black Jade is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a classy, sensual journey through time; for others, it's an 'old-fashioned' headache. If you're after a warm, spiced rose with a vintage edge, it’s worth a sniff, but sample first.
Ambre Nue is a divisive and often misunderstood amber, praised for its bright, effervescent quality but criticised for its weak projection and lack of typical amber depth. It's an unusual take that some adore and others find rather thin, especially given the price.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and 'light, non-intrusive' nature make it suitable for office wear and casual settings where you don't want to overpower. While some find it 'sexy' and 'romantic', its gentle projection might not hold up for a grand formal event.
