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.
Divisive yet addictive, this Montale amber bomb demands patience. The opening is rough, but if you can push through, it transforms into a uniquely comforting, powdery amber that captivates loyal fans, but repels others.
