Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Amber & Spices
Divisive, powerful, and unmistakably Montale, 'Amber & Spices' is a polarizing powerhouse. Expect a bold, woody-spicy kick that some adore for its exotic sensuality, while others find it aggressively synthetic and overwhelming.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Shams Al Rehab
This isn't for the faint of heart - Shams Al Rehab is a powerhouse that laughs in the face of subtlety. Expect an assertive, unapologetic warmth; it's a bold Arabian statement, not for everyone, but undeniable for those who dare.
