Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ambre Sultan EDP
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.

Our Verdict - Reverie Aqua EDP
This is a fiercely divisive fragrance. For some, it's a stunning, high-quality dupe that outperforms its rivals. For others, it's a 'scrubber' - synthetic, headache-inducing, and even 'gross.' You'll either love it and consider it a steal, or hate it and regret the blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Ambre Sultan

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent. The dry herbal-resinous opening and warm, balsamic amber drydown suit autumn and winter best, with the deep labdanum-vanilla body reading thick on warm skin.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its complex, polarising character and intimate-to-moderate projection make it a poor office choice but a strong pick for date nights, formal cool-weather evenings, and casual winter wear. Lacks the freshness for daytime summer wear or sport.

Reverie Aqua

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its strong projection and warm, spicy sweetness make it a poor fit for the office, where it might overwhelm. It excels in date settings, its sensual and confident character creating an inviting aura. It's versatile enough for casual wear, but perhaps best suited for cooler weather social outings rather than formal events or activity.
