Better than most brands but far below Amouage's best. A shame to see the house continue in this direction. The name is poorly chosen too.

I enjoy this fragrance a lot but the transitions come so fast even if the base lasts a long time. Base is nice but not compelling enough IMO

Maybe heresy but I prefer the F batch opening which is less smokey. Performance has improved to adequate from BlackRock era's abysmal.

Cloyingly sweet opening but quickly becomes a crowd pleaser. Easy to wear and nuclear performance (sillage is very good for an extrait).

Top burns off fairly quickly, but the base is long lasting on my skin. This may not be good enough for some, but I can live with it.

For me the key difference with XXV is the almost fermenty quality and longevity (this stuff lasts a long time on my skin). My two favorites.

Masterpiece but in no world is this a rose soliflore; not redundant to most rose scents. The use of fruit notes is particularly genius.

More spring than summer for my taste. Longevity is really fantastic. I get more orange brandy from my bottle than an older sample.

To me a bit boring but its parameters w.r.t. sillage/longevity *given this is a freshie* is to be commended. Ideal for affluent zoomers.

Noir de Noir but when the current NdN would have run out of gas you get a pleasant white musk+amber skin scent. Available heavily discounted
