This is Mancera's unapologetic stab at the 'dark vanilla' trend, serving up a potent blend that some call the best of its kind. It's a divisive one, though - fans adore its deep, grown-up sweetness, while detractors find it synthetic, heavy on the oud, or simply nothing new.

A budget take on Lush's Sticky Dates. Amber Dates captures the gooey sticky-toffee-pudding heart of caramel and dates over velvety benzoin and sandalwood, but Perfume Parlour's version reads a touch flatter and projects more modestly than the original's potent, room-filling sweetness.
