Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Decision
Amouage's Decision is a divisive beast: some hail it as a masterpiece of modern perfumery, a perfectly balanced incense and vanilla dream. Others find it linear, synthetic, and frankly, a bit of a scrubber. Try before you buy, because this one definitely isn't for everyone.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Shazam!
This is a bold, spicy amber that manages to be both deeply traditional and uniquely memorable. Some find it a bit too unusual, but for those who get it, Shazam! is pure magic and an absolute must-try for oriental fans.
