Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tonka Imperiale
This much-hyped Guerlain masterpiece, now infamously discontinued and reformulated, evokes extreme devotion and frustration in equal measure. A rich, sweet tonka-almond dream to some; an overpriced, underperforming disappointment to others.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Neon Amber
Don't let the noise fool you; Molton Brown's Neon Amber is a divisive but ultimately comforting amber. It's a modern, slightly synthetic take on a classic, perfect for those who like their warmth with a fizzy, contemporary edge.

Season and Occasion Fit

Tonka Imperiale

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its rich, deep, and often described as 'opulent' profile, coupled with strong performance (for some), makes it less suitable for an office environment. However, its sophisticated and sensual character is perfect for dates, special evenings, and formal events where it can truly shine without being overwhelming.

Neon Amber

Seasons

Best For:
Winter
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

With strong projection and longevity, this amber-heavy scent is best suited for evenings and cooler weather. It's an excellent choice for a date or a cozy night in, given its warmth and enveloping nature, but might be a bit much for a formal setting or an office environment.
