Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ambre Royal EDP
Prepare for a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Ambre Royal is a deeply divisive ambroxan bomb, sparking adoration from some and giving headaches to others. Definitely sample this one before splashing out, especially if you're sensitive to synthetics.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Special Resin EDP
Special Resin recreates Ormonde Jayne's Ambre Royal, the elegant unisex amber that stays warm without turning cloying. It captures the refined iris-and-amber heart and the dry ambroxan-cedar drydown, but the dupe softens the original's outstanding projection and longevity, wearing closer and a touch flatter while keeping that classy, non-sweet amber signature.
