Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect potent spice, deep leather, and a divisive oud that some find heavenly and others, well, a bit like a chicken coop. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but incredible value if it clicks for you.
A warm embrace of spice and leather, Ambre Cristal is a sophisticated beast. Its character unfolds with a rich complexity, though some may find its woody dry-down a touch too assertive.
