Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lustre
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Arabian Incense Artisan Perfumery
This is a seriously polarising scent - some swear it's a budget niche masterpiece of church incense and ancient woods, while others find it too rough or just 'sweet ash'. It's not for the faint-hearted, but if you're a 'beautiful weirdo', this might just be your next signature.
