The r/fragrance community is conflicted about Decision 42 and Amouage's overall strategy. While the original Decision is praised for longevity, many find it unremarkable, and the rapid extrait release exemplifies broader frustrations with Amouage's aggressive output that feels exploitative rather than luxury. The community warns potential buyers to evaluate whether the extrait justifies waiting versus purchasing the solid original at a discount.

Angels' Share is a well-composed niche fragrance with an impressive scent profile of apple pie, cognac, and spice that genuinely resonates with many in the community. However, it's severely hampered by unpredictable performance—some experience strong projection while others find it barely noticeable—and longevity issues that appear batch-dependent. Despite these concerns, it maintains solid community appreciation and recognition.
