Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper head-turner, but the drama isn't just in the scent; it's in the price tag and the baffling 'bundle-only' release. Amber Star is a complex, indulgent ambergris dream that should be flying off shelves, but Xerjoff's marketing has made it a cult classic rather than a crowd-pleaser.
362 follows Elixir des Merveilles' resinous orange-and-amber structure, though the woody base reads flatter than Hermes's layered original.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and incredible longevity make it too much for the office. However, its rich, sweet, and sensual nature, often described as 'sexy' and 'classy,' makes it perfectly suited for special occasions, formal events, and intimate date nights. It's a night-out showstopper, not a casual daytime spritz.
Seasons
The resinous, smoky amber base is a clear autumn-winter fragrance.
Occasions
The cozy, woody-amber warmth suits the office and casual daytime wear.
