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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Point of No Return Extrait
A deep incense scent built on frankincense and myrrh with a spicy opening and a cedar and vanilla base. Oakcha's take on Amouage Decision, serious, smoky and made for cooler days.
