Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ambré Eau de Parfum
Baldessarini Ambré is a beautiful, budget-friendly amber-leather scent with a loyal following, but its notorious weak performance means it's often a heartbreak in a bottle. If you're willing to overspray, you're in for a treat.

Our Verdict - Dark Rum Eau de Parfum
Don't let the name fool you - this ain't no deep, boozy rum. It's a surprisingly clean, fresh take on plum and leather with a creamy, almost shampoo-like softness. Some find it sexy and addictive, others call it a 'basic ass plum' or 'laundry detergent'. A divisive scent where a blind buy is definitely not advised.

Ambré Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate projection and warm, inviting accords make it ideal for close-quarter situations like dates and quieter office environments. Several reviews highlight its suitability for formal settings and cooler weather, but its limited sillage means it won't overwhelm an office, yet it's too rich for sport.

Best For:

Its moderate projection and clean character make it versatile for casual wear and date nights, where its subtle sensuality can shine. However, its fruitiness and perceived lack of 'seriousness' by some, combined with variable longevity, make it less suited for formal settings or vigorous sport.
