Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Gold Man
Divisive, powerful, and utterly unapologetic, Amouage Gold Man is a love-it-or-hate-it beast. Some call it regal and timeless, others a nuclear 'old lady' bomb. One thing's for sure - it makes a statement.

Our Verdict - Brûlant Oud
This one's a proper grower. You'll either love Brûlant Oud's complex, animalic floral or find it a bit too much at first. It's unique, with a rich, mature character that really rewards persistence.
