Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Ambre Khandjar Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper love-or-hate affair. Expect a polarising hit of smoky plum, syrupy amber and patchouli that some find utterly addictive, others a bit of a sticky headache. It's not for the faint-hearted, but if you like 'em bold and boozy-sweet, this could be your next vice.

Our Verdict - Angel Eau de Parfum
The Essence Vault's interpretation of Mugler's Angel (1992) - Olivier Cresp and Yves de Chiris's cotton-candy-patchouli pioneer that invented the modern gourmand category, here translated into a budget reading with the cotton-candy-patchouli-vanilla spine still legible. Honest dupe-fidelity for evening and night-out wear.
