Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sa Majeste la Rose EDP
This is Serge Lutens' unapologetic ode to the rose: vivid, natural, and utterly majestic. While some find it linear or even too intense, rose enthusiasts will adore its authentic, fresh-from-the-garden character, offering a masterclass in rose soliflores that few can match.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Intense Amber EDP
Divisive, potent and utterly misleading: Intense Amber is anything but a classic amber. Expect a bold, sweet rose and raspberry bomb with serious staying power. You'll either adore its persistent fruitiness or find it overwhelmingly artificial.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sa Majeste la Rose

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer Winter

A spring-forward, daytime rose. The dewy green opening and honeyed bloom read brightest in warm spring air, with autumn a close second as the woody-musk drydown gains presence. Wearers find it too fresh and floral for deep winter and a touch sweet for high summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal

Its clean, realistic rose and soft-to-moderate projection make it versatile - polished enough for formal occasions and dates where its luxurious bloom leaves a lasting impression, and inoffensive enough for casual daytime wear. It can be a touch dominant for a conservative office and lacks the lightness for sport.

Intense Amber

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its intense projection and remarkable longevity, this scent is best suited for evenings or cooler weather. It's a strong performer that could easily overwhelm an office environment but shines on a night out or during a formal gathering.
