Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vétiver Extraordinaire Eau de Parfum

A reference vetiver that balances bright citrus, aromatic spice, and a bracing, rooty earthiness. This is vetiver in its most pure, uncompromising form - refined yet elemental, and a benchmark for connoisseurs.

Our Verdict - Decision Eau de Parfum

Amouage's Decision is a divisive beast: some hail it as a masterpiece of modern perfumery, a perfectly balanced incense and vanilla dream. Others find it linear, synthetic, and frankly, a bit of a scrubber. Try before you buy, because this one definitely isn't for everyone.

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Summer Winter

The dominant vetiver, mossy, and woody facets make it perfect for spring and especially fall when earthy, green, and spicy notes shine. Its freshness allows for summer use on cooler days but it may lack the warmth for deep winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date Formal

The elegant yet understated character and moderate projection make it ideal for the office and versatile for most occasions except sport. It is sophisticated for formal events but not overly bold or sweet for dates.
