Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Ristretto Intense Café
This one's a Montale powerhouse, and it's certainly divisive. Some find it a delicious coffee-rose dream, while others are baffled by the lack of coffee and overwhelmed by the rose. Love it or hate it, its monstrous performance is undeniable.

Our Verdict - 1003 EDP
1003 is one of Divain's own creations - a decadent caramel opening over a rose-and-oud heart and a dry woody base, built as a bold winter-night composition rather than a clone.

Also Works:

Its beastly projection and sweet, dense gourmand nature make it a poor fit for the office, where it could easily overwhelm. However, these same characteristics, especially the sensual rose and caramel, make it fantastic for dates or a statement evening out, particularly in colder weather.
