Which Should You Buy?

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.

Our Verdict - Caban Eau de Parfum

Caban is a smooth operator, a creamy sandalwood and tonka dream that splits opinion. Some find it a bit too sweet and soft, lacking the 'wow' factor, while others are utterly enchanted by its elegant, comforting embrace. It's a subtle stunner, not a shouty statement.
