Which Should You Buy?
This one's stirred up a proper debate: love it or hate it, Material certainly isn't shy. Some call it a masterpiece, a rich, liqueur-like vanilla amber. Others find it overbearing, smoky, or even reminiscent of a clinic. Definitely try before you buy this divisive Amouage.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a boozy, smoky, vanilla dream; for others, it's a headache in a bottle. If you like your fragrances bold and grown-up, this could be your new winter staple. Don't blind buy unless you're feeling brave.
