Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Blue Amber

Divisive yet addictive, this Montale amber bomb demands patience. The opening is rough, but if you can push through, it transforms into a uniquely comforting, powdery amber that captivates loyal fans, but repels others.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Ambra

A truly gorgeous, refined amber that's both warm and surprisingly fresh. It divides opinion with its quirky opening, but dries down to a comforting, luxurious scent. Etro knows their stuff, even if some wish it shouted a bit louder.
