Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Voile d'Ambre Eau de Parfum

A truly opulent amber that punches way above its weight. While some find its opening a bit harsh or get a headache, most rave about its smooth, rich, and mysterious drydown. A warm, comforting hug in a bottle, perfect for cooler weather.

Our Verdict - Decision Eau de Parfum

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.
