Which Should You Buy?
This one's stirred up a proper debate: love it or hate it, Material certainly isn't shy. Some call it a masterpiece, a rich, liqueur-like vanilla amber. Others find it overbearing, smoky, or even reminiscent of a clinic. Definitely try before you buy this divisive Amouage.
This is a serious, opulent gourmand for those who appreciate a rich, complex scent. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with some finding it perfectly balanced and others put off by a persistent 'urinal cake' incense note up close. Definitely sample before committing.
