Which Should You Buy?
Montale Pure Love opens with a zingy rose, quickly transitioning to a sweet, woody vanilla-leather and ambergris dry-down. It's beast-mode Montale, but opinions are divided: some find it beautifully unisex, others too masculine or even "bug spray." Definitely try before you buy.
Hayati is a beautifully balanced, subtle musk-rose powerhouse with surprisingly polarising performance. Seriously, people are either anosmic to it or find it eternal. Don't go overboard, especially with the oil, or you'll overwhelm everyone.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its beast-mode performance and animalic accords, Pure Love shines on dates and formal evenings, where its intensity can be appreciated. It's far too potent for the office and entirely unsuitable for sport, with its richness best suited to cooler weather.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
While discreet, its strong projection for some wearers means it's best applied sparingly for the office. It's a perfect choice for dates and casual settings due to its alluring, subtly intimate character. For formal events, its elegance makes it suitable, though perhaps not the most commanding choice.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Woody, Animalic, Amber accords and Rose notes
