Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Material EDP
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.

Our Verdict - Il Padrino EDP
This one's a divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent that's often compared to some big hitters. Many find it a rich, boozy-fruity masterpiece with beast-mode performance, while others find the drydown cheap, synthetic or just too much. Definitely sample first, as this isn't for the faint of heart.
