Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Decision EDP
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.

Our Verdict - Botanical Resin EDP
Surprisingly solid for the price point, Botanical Resin is a crowd-pleasing spicy amber that's a step up from typical drugstore fare. It's safe, versatile, and leans into a youthful, sweet-spicy masculinity that works for everyday wear and date nights.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Botanical Resin's mild projection and sweet-spicy character make it suitable for office and casual settings. Its seductive undertones and youthful sweetness also make it a strong contender for date nights, as noted by reviewers. While it's 'mainstream friendly', its amber-vanilla warmth isn't ideal for sporty activities or very formal events.
