Which Should You Buy?
Prepare for a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Ambre Royal is a deeply divisive ambroxan bomb, sparking adoration from some and giving headaches to others. Definitely sample this one before splashing out, especially if you're sensitive to synthetics.
This one's a bit of a chameleon, often mistaken for other big-hitters like BR540 or Tribeca. Whilst it can be divisive, those who 'get' it rave about its woody, nutty charm, especially once it's had a bit of time to settle.

Occasions
Its strong projection and gourmand-woody profile make it a bit much for the office but perfect for dates and evening events. The caramel and cacao notes lend themselves well to casual wear in cooler weather too, though perhaps not for a formal summer occasion.
