Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Purpose EDP
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Replay Signature For Men EDT
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a sexy, spicy crowd-pleaser for any age or occasion, others deem it an old-fashioned barbershop affair. Test on skin, not paper, for the real story. Decent scent, but don't expect it to last.
