Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dia Man EDP
Dia Man is a quiet masterpiece from Amouage, a sophisticated blend for the understated gentleman. Forget beast-mode projection; this is elegance that whispers, not shouts. It's divisive only among those expecting Amouage's usual bombast; for others, it's a refined delight.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Passing Through For Men EDP
A budget clone of Amouage's Dia Pour Homme. The refined, understated woody-floral-musk with its incense-and-orris elegance lands recognisably, though Perfume Parlour smooths away much of the Amouage original's polish and depth.
