okay this is one of the most accurate Amouage Dia Man formulas i've smelled. after 6 hours the Vetiver is still there, just sitting on skin beautifully. i'll be buying this for friends as gifts from now on.

tested a bunch of Woody Floral Musky alternatives last month — this was the clear winner. you can smell every note from the pyramid and they all work together. 3 stars, it's nice but i expected a bit more character.
- Bobby ButlerVerified buyer
sampled it next to the Amouage Dia Man at a friend's place and had to double-check the bottle. 4 stars — the sillage is a little soft for my taste but the smell is gorgeous.
