Which Should You Buy?
Alambar is a divisive amber, swinging from a cozy, spicy hug to a 'bug spray' or 'clove bomb' for some. Definitely one to try before you buy, as your skin chemistry will dictate whether it's a sweet dream or a scrubber.
This is a Zara showstopper and a serious contender in the spiced gourmand ring. Forget the clones - Sand Desert At Sunset Intense delivers a rich, complex experience that stands proudly on its own, especially for the price.
