Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nightcap
This one's a divisive brew; some find it a delightful, fizzy root beer float, while others reckon it's a medicinal cough syrup nightmare. It's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, so definitely try before you buy, unless you fancy smelling like Carmex or dashi.
Statement
Our Verdict - Lustre
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Nightcap

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its intimate sillage and unique, often gourmand, character make it less suitable for formal or office settings. It's ideal for casual wear or date nights, where its soft, close-to-skin projection can be appreciated, though its oil-based formula might stain clothes which limits versatility.

Lustre

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

While many praise its smooth and refined character, Lustre's strong amber, warm spicy, and balsamic accords make it a bit much for the office or casual daywear. Its luxurious, sensual warmth and often-noted longevity make it perfect for formal events and date nights where you want to leave a lasting impression.
