Which Should You Buy?
Divisive and unapologetic, Amouage Purpose is a beast-mode frankincense and pepper punch. It's either a masterful, bold statement or an overwhelming, synthetic mess. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but for those who get it, it's a profound, signature scent.
Divisive and aptly named, yet not for the reasons you'd expect. Forget tropical cocktails; this is a dense, spicy, leathery beast some call a masterpiece, others burnt toast. Try before you buy, it's certainly a conversation starter.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its monstrous projection and longevity, Purpose is too strong for office wear but makes a confident statement for evenings or formal events. While some find it too intense for dates, its luxurious and mysterious vibe can be compelling for the right occasion.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its strong woody, spicy, and leathery accords, and mentions of impressive longevity and projection, this scent is better suited to date nights or formal events. It may be too bold for an office setting and definitely not for sport.
