Is Aurica better than Lamar?

Lamar takes this one. The Bulgarian rose and red berries give it a fruity-floral lift that Aurica doesn't have, and a full point higher rating with strong sillage backs that up. Aurica leans earthier, built around vetiver, oud and ylang-ylang for a deeper, dustier character. If you want to be noticed across the room, Lamar wins on projection alone.

Pick Aurica

Pick Aurica if you want an earthy, woody trail that stays close, vetiver, oud and ylang-ylang give it a powdery aromatic finish without broadcasting.

Pick Lamar

Pick Lamar if you want to fill a room. Bulgarian rose, red berries and toffee create a bold fruity-floral presence, and the strong sillage means people notice you.

What do reviewers say about Aurica and Lamar?

Here's what makes Aurica worth your money: eight to ten hours of presence without the nuclear sillage that clears rooms. The pineapple opening is bold, but it doesn't announce itself for half the day.Aurica

Pineapple and rose together isn't subtle. It's a deliberate clash, and if that works for you, Lamar rewards with projection that announces arrival before the door opens.Lamar
