Which Should You Buy?
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.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, with a challenging oud opening that either resolves into a golden amber dream or stays an 'offensive rat in decomposition'. Not for the faint-hearted, but worth it if you can ride out the initial blast.
