Which Should You Buy?
Michael Kors Sexy Amber is wildly divisive: some find it a cosy, underrated delight, a "my skin but better" scent with vintage charm. Others are utterly repulsed, calling it an "animal piss" and "old lady" nightmare. Love it or hate it, it's certainly not boring.
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Mugler Alien (2005) - jasmine sambac, cashmeran wood and amber translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
