Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Voile d'Ambre Eau de Parfum
A truly opulent amber that punches way above its weight. While some find its opening a bit harsh or get a headache, most rave about its smooth, rich, and mysterious drydown. A warm, comforting hug in a bottle, perfect for cooler weather.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Istanbul Eau de Parfum
A truly gorgeous, comforting amber that's not afraid of a bit of spice and a fresh aromatic kick. It's divisive only because some say its performance is poor, but the scent itself is a hug in a bottle.
