Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fate Man Eau de Parfum
This is one of Amouage's most divisive creations, a bold statement scent that you'll either adore for its unique spice blend or recoil from its notorious cumin kick. Definitely sample before you commit.

Our Verdict - Groove Xcape Parfum
Groove Xcape is a divisive beast, a genuine love-it-or-hate-it scent from Xerjoff that bucks trends. It's a proper niche experience: unique, complex, and probably not for the faint-hearted or those seeking mass appeal. Forget the clubbing marketing; this is an olfactory art piece.
