Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ambre Sultan Eau de Parfum
A divisive yet iconic amber, Ambre Sultan is either a dark, resinous masterpiece or a trip to a medicinal spice cupboard. It's not for everyone, but those who 'get' it consider it a warm, enveloping classic.
Acquired
Our Verdict - The Library Collection Opus VI Eau de Parfum
A powerhouse amber that's either a magnificent, opulent journey or an overpowering, spicy onslaught. Love it or hate it, its discontinuation has only amplified its legendary status and the demand for this 'holy grail' scent.
