Which Should You Buy?
Ajmal Amber Wood is a beautifully blended woody amber scent, but wearers are sharply divided on its performance. Some rave about its longevity and sillage, while others are utterly disappointed by its fleeting nature. Try before you buy, as batch variations appear to be a serious issue.
Seriously polarising, Lustre is either a creamy, refined dream or a generic, synthetic mess, depending on who you ask. It’s either the future of Amouage or a betrayal of its heritage. Whatever your take, it's undeniably a bold, rich amber scent.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its sophisticated woody amber profile suits dates and formal events perfectly, offering a mature yet alluring presence. While some find it office-appropriate due to its variable projection, others experience it as an intimate skin scent, making it versatile but less ideal for high-sillage scenarios. It's generally too rich and warm for casual daytime wear or sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
While many praise its smooth and refined character, Lustre's strong amber, warm spicy, and balsamic accords make it a bit much for the office or casual daywear. Its luxurious, sensual warmth and often-noted longevity make it perfect for formal events and date nights where you want to leave a lasting impression.
