Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mixed Emotions EDP
This one's a proper divisive scent, true to its name. You'll either love its weird, smoky blackcurrant tea vibe or recoil from its 'cat pee' and 'BBQ sauce' undertones. Definitely not a blind buy, but if it clicks for you, it's a unique and captivating masterpiece.
Statement
Our Verdict - Portrayal Man EDP
This one's a divisive Amouage, a classic-leaning violet leaf bomb that either you'll adore for its green, clean richness or dismiss as a dated, overly soapy mess. Ignore the endless Fahrenheit comparisons - it’s a different beast.
