Lustre
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This is a beautiful, understated amber that's sadly a bit of a performance lottery. If you grab an older bottle, you're in for a treat; the new ones just don't hit the same, and the faint sillage really lets down a cracking scent profile.
Seriously polarising, Lustre is either a creamy, refined dream or a generic, synthetic mess, depending on who you ask. It’s either the future of Amouage or a betrayal of its heritage. Whatever your take, it's undeniably a bold, rich amber scent.

Occasions
While many praise its smooth and refined character, Lustre's strong amber, warm spicy, and balsamic accords make it a bit much for the office or casual daywear. Its luxurious, sensual warmth and often-noted longevity make it perfect for formal events and date nights where you want to leave a lasting impression.
