Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Amber Intense Eau de Parfum

Prada Amber Intense is a sophisticated, clean-yet-dark amber bomb for the grown-up gent. It's a divisive one - some find it a dated 'grandpa' scent, but fans hail it as a masterpiece, often drawing comparisons to Tom Ford Noir.

Our Verdict - Blue Amber Eau de Parfum

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.
