Which Should You Buy?
This one is exactly what it says on the tin: a full-throttle patchouli beast. If you're patchouli-averse, run for the hills. But for those who love that earthy, chocolatey, damp forest floor scent, Montale delivers an unapologetically bold, unmissable experience that will get you noticed.
Divisive and distinctive, Manege Blanche lands with a thud rather than a gentle whisper. Expect an unusual metallic-woody punch that some will love and others will simply find too much.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
This perfume is a nuclear bomb in terms of projection and longevity, making it completely unsuitable for the office where it would offend everyone. Its bold, sensuous nature and significant sillage make it perfect for dates or cooler weather casual wear, though its intensity would be too much for formal settings or sports.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and spring.
Occasions
Its strong projection and unique, heavy accords make it unsuitable for an office environment, but perfect for making a statement on a date or at a formal event. The prominent woody and musky notes, combined with decent performance, suit cooler evenings.
