Which Should You Buy?
A warm-spicy oriental built on cinnamon, leather, and amber, with a soft apple-violet opener and a tobacco-patchouli drydown. Cool-weather evening wear, not the white-floral gourmand the database implied.
A warm embrace of spice and leather, Ambre Cristal is a sophisticated beast. Its character unfolds with a rich complexity, though some may find its woody dry-down a touch too assertive.
