Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Eau Ambree EDT
This discontinued gem is a soft, powdery amber that exudes quiet luxury. It's often compared to its stronger Prada Amber sibling, but L'Eau Ambree offers a more intimate, refined experience. The main critique is its 'whisper-soft' projection and longevity, which sadly led to its demise, yet it remains a beloved and sought-after classic.

Our Verdict - Tertiary Water For Women EDP
A budget reading of Prada's L'Eau Ambree. Tertiary Water captures the lemony-citrus open and the soft powdery amber-vanilla drydown that made the original so elegant, but Perfume Parlour's take reads a touch sweeter and flatter, with wear that stays close to the skin like the soft-projecting original.
