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.
This is a polarising beast, a powerful woody aromatic with a dark, primal edge. You'll either adore its fiery, reptilian charm or find it a bit too much - there's not much middle ground here. Definitely one for those who want to make a statement.
