Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a bold, zingy grapefruit blast that mellows into something surprisingly creamy and woody. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if you're into unique, punchy citrus, this could be your next obsession.
Amberful is Mancera's attempt to join the modern fresh woody trend, and it's a divisive one. It's built to perform, pushing out a powerful, clean, citrus-infused woody aroma that polarises opinion. Expect compliments alongside accusations of being unoriginal or even unpleasant.
