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.

Our Verdict - Saint Rémy Extrait

This one's a divisive sniff, folks. Some call it an earthy, classy freshie, others can't get past the 'old car' vibe. You'll either get its complex, challenging dance between clean and raw, or you'll be reaching for the surgical masks.

Date Formal

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, especially in the opening, might be a bit much for a formal office setting. However, its clean, woody freshness and interesting leather accord make it suitable for casual wear or intriguing date nights. The earthy, raw aspects lend themselves to less formal situations, while the iris adds a touch of unexpected elegance for a modern formal setting.
