Which Should You Buy?
A fresh, fruity twist on the original Montabaco that's a crowd-pleaser for some, yet leaves others scratching their heads over its 'Cuban' identity and lack of prominent tobacco. Its limited edition status adds to its appeal for collectors.
This one's a proper grower, mind. Initial sprays can be a bit much, throwing some off, but a patient nose will be rewarded. It's a divisive scent; some rave about its unique charm, others just don't get the hype. Definitely not a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.
Occasions
Given its fresh, easy-going nature and moderate projection, this fragrance is highly versatile for daily wear, suitable for the office or casual outings. While it has an air of sophistication that works for dates, its limited sillage makes it less ideal for formal events where a more commanding presence is desired.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its strong sillage and longevity, this isn't really an office scent. It shines brightest on dates or formal evenings where its mysterious and sensual character can truly captivate, though its relaxed drydown also suits casual evening wear.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Woody, Citrus, White Floral accords and Sandalwood, Jasmine notes
