Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Outlands EDP
Outlands is the most divisive Amouage in recent memory. A complex, beast-mode oriental that blends luxurious amber and frankincense with unexpected flashes of freshness. Half of us think it's a masterpiece, the other half thinks it's massively overhyped.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Oudlands EDP
Oudlands interprets Amouage's Outlands - that smoky frankincense and spice over a dramatic resinous oud-amber base. The dupe traces the bold, majestic outline but renders it flatter and less luxurious than Cecile Zarokian's monumental niche original, with shorter longevity.

Season and Occasion Fit

Outlands

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its nuclear performance and thick, oriental profile, Outlands is best reserved for cooler weather and evening wear. It shines on a date or at a formal event where its luxurious complexity can be appreciated, but its sheer power makes it too much for an office or casual setting.

Oudlands

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The smoky oud, incense and resins are firmly cold-weather, made for autumn and winter.

Occasions

Also Works:
Date Formal

Dramatic and resinous, it suits evenings and formal statement occasions rather than casual daytime.
