Which Should You Buy?
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.
Guerlain's Vetiver Extreme is divisive. Many adore its earthy, smoky update to the classic, finding it modern and sophisticated, while others dismiss it as synthetic or fleeting. Nevertheless, if you love vetiver, this is a must-try, particularly if you find a good deal.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and longevity make it versatile for most settings, leaning slightly more casual or date-night appropriate due to its warm, inviting drydown. The fresh, clean vetiver makes it suitable for spring and summer, but the smoky-spicy elements also work well in cooler weather.
