Which Should You Buy?
Divisive and unapologetic, Amouage Purpose is a beast-mode frankincense and pepper punch. It's either a masterful, bold statement or an overwhelming, synthetic mess. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but for those who get it, it's a profound, signature scent.
A smoky, churchy incense bomb that's a dead ringer for a much pricier bottle. Give it time to macerate and it transforms from an ashtray into a surprisingly fresh and woody powerhouse, though some find it a touch synthetic.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
