Decision vs Outlands

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.

The r/fragrance community has deeply divided opinions on Outlands. While many genuinely love the scent's composition and quality, others dismiss it as overhyped and TikTok-driven. The fragrance receives praise for its unique profile and performance, but criticism centers on perceived hype culture overshadowing its actual merits, with some preferring other Amouage releases like Lustre.
