Which Should You Buy?
A divisive but undeniably potent amber and tonka bomb. It's a statement scent, with some calling it a winter must-have and others finding it simply too much. If you like your warmth with serious projection, this is for you.
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.
