Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Meander Eau de Parfum
Meander is a divisive beast, a Marmite scent. Some find it a creamy, elegant masterpiece - a gentle, meditative ride through spiced woods. Others reckon it's a weak, weird, or even 'pickles marinade' mess. Performance is a common sticking point, not the beast mode Amouage is known for.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Iridium Extrait
A divisive Iris scent that polarises opinions. Some find it a clean, edgy masterpiece with a futuristic, sterile vibe, while others decry its vanishing act and chemical unpleasantness. Approach with caution, a sample is essential for this one.
