Amouage Decision is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Quentin Bisch. Decision opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Myrrh, Frankincense, and Juniper, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Amouage's Decision carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Decision opens with a zingy, vibrant burst of bergamot and pink pepper, quickly ushering in a cool, aromatic heart of juniper, frankincense, and myrrh. This creates a fascinating tension between fresh and resinous, almost like frosted pine needles amidst ancient incense smoke. As it settles, a smooth, creamy vanilla emerges, blended seamlessly with earthy patchouli and dry cedar, leaving a luxurious, somewhat spiritual trail that is both crisp and comforting.
