Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Starry Nights EDP
This one's a proper beast - you'll either love its intense rose-musk-apple bomb or find it a synthetic headache. It's divisive, loud, and definitely not for the faint-hearted, but for those who get it, it's a unique, compliment-pulling superstar.
Statement
Our Verdict - No 55 Starry Nights Extrait
Montale's Starry Nights pairs a sharp fruity-citrus opening with a rose-jasmine heart and powdery musk base, and this dupe follows that arc closely - the projection is strong, though the rose feels a touch thinner than Montale's characteristically loud florals.
