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.

Rare Oud Blend chases Dior Sauvage Rare Blend, the ultra-limited oriental-woody reinterpretation built on oud, vanilla and labdanum. It captures the deep, resinous Sauvage-gone-dark character, but renders flatter and skin-close, the dense original's richness thinned for a budget price.
