Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mandarino di Amalfi Eau de Parfum

A stunning citrus freshie that perfectly captures the Mediterranean dream, Mandarino di Amalfi is adored by many for its uplifting vibe. However, its eye-watering price point and sometimes fleeting longevity is a sore spot for others, creating a love-it-or-hate-it dynamic.

Our Verdict - Ambra Calabria Eau de Parfum

Ambra Calabria is a journey, not a destination. It starts with a sharp, invigorating green citrus, but quickly pivots to a creamy, soft amber-vanilla. A true shape-shifter, it's a divisive scent that some adore for its unique transformation, while others find the shift jarring or the dry-down too powdery/feminine.
