Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Amber & Spices EDP
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 - Rose d'Isparta EDP
This is a gorgeous, classy rose elevated by spices and amber. It avoids typical rose tropes, offering something complex and wearable. A crowd-pleaser that reviewers adore, often leading to backup bottle purchases.
