Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Meander EDP
Meander is a divisive beast, a Marmite scent. Some find it a creamy, elegant masterpiece - a gentle, meditative ride through spiced woods. Others reckon it's a weak, weird, or even 'pickles marinade' mess. Performance is a common sticking point, not the beast mode Amouage is known for.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Reflection Homme Extrait
A rosemary-jasmine take on Amouage Reflection Man. Reflection Homme captures the fresh, aromatic signature well but is lighter and less resinous than the original's more complex, long-wearing woody base.
