Which Should You Buy?

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.

Our Verdict - Nektar Eau de Parfum
Nektar is a divisive beast: some rave about its sublime blend of aromatic warmth and gourmand sweetness, others recoil from what they perceive as a synthetic mess. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it scent that commands attention, for better or worse.
