hdP Ambre 114 - I get about seven hours from it and the projection is average.
For me its Ambre Sultan from SL. A loud herbal smack at opening but it quiets down (somewhat) after 30min. or so. The longevity for me is at least 8 to 10hrs. the projection above average.

I've just been on Trip Advisor. There was no information on a cut knee.

Not saying they are the best, but my favorites are:
HdP Abrarem
L'Air du desert Marocain
MPG Ambre Precieux
All of the above lasts 8+ hours and have above average projection.
Azzaro PH - great longevity, up to 8-10 hours
My favorite amber is Les Nombres d'Or Ambre by Mona di Orio. It has above average projection and superb longevity. The thing I like most about it is it is not sickeningly sweet like most ambers are. The dry-down is out of this world incredible. A hidden gem to be sure.
The first runner-up is Ambre 114 by Histoire de Parfums, followed by the very different but equally superb Ambre Sultan and Versilia Vintage Ambra.

I really enjoy Tom Ford Amber Absolute, it has a fantastic balance of incense and amber. Try Profumum Ambra Aurea if you want just a pure amber.
i tried and really enjoyed ambre soie by armani.. but i ve been told that projection and duration are really poor with this one.. plus its very pricy
+1, only I get 24 hours longevity and excellent projection for the duration. To me, this is a 'dirty' amber. I remember reading a review that said this smells like dirt; I sort of know where the reviewer is coming from, but it's a very authentic, unashamed amber. Quite linear but if you like amber, this won't bother you.
I really enjoy amber, when it's done right that is.
The discontinued, but wonderful, Gucci Pour Homme I.
All day and then some.
