Not sure why this scent seems to be so polarizing; I think it's fantastic. One of their better unisex incense fragrances that's also suitable for spring and fall. It seems like people's main complaint is that it's 'too mainstream'; I didn't think Amouage was known for particularly challenging scents

It’s certainly something that you could consider mass appealing, but it’s still got some nice complexity to it in my opinion, but as with everything I guess there’ll always be someone that doesn’t vibe with it! It may be mainstream adjacent but it’s certainly quality, that’s for sure

I ordered this from Nordstrom and they cancelled it because it sold out. Must be doing something right. Gotta grab it at some point.

Very likely to be the next bottle I get (provided Harrods have it in stock when I get up to London). Got a few contenders though

If you aren't set on ordering from Nordstrom, Amouage, Lucky Scent, and Maple Prime all have bottles in stock.

Amouage is one of my favorite houses but since the departure of Christopher Chong I’ve lamented the turn away from complex resinous beasts to more market friendly and simple blends. I was not super

And sadly, they have! I can confidently say that 42 is far more appealing to my personal tastes. This stuff is still fantastic, but the OG is much more bombastic and shouty than 42. It's still

Aromatic smoke bomb. Opening has a bit of the citrus / bergamot touch, but the incense becomes intense, which is on brand for Amouage. There is a green quality to this. Maybe it’s the juniper. But

I used to be in the anti-Quentin Bisch camp, but over time, he's really become one of my all-time favorite perfumers. Something about his style of boldness crossed with unique complexity just fits me
