Which Should You Buy?
Seriously polarising, Lustre is either a creamy, refined dream or a generic, synthetic mess, depending on who you ask. It’s either the future of Amouage or a betrayal of its heritage. Whatever your take, it's undeniably a bold, rich amber scent.
This one's a total banger, a woody-spicy marvel that's got everyone raving. It actually manages to outshine the original it's inspired by, offering serious class and impressive longevity. Prepare for a fight to get your hands on a bottle, though.
