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 - New York EDP

A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Le Labo Santal 33 (2011) - violet, sandalwood and leather translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
