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.
