Which Should You Buy?
Montale's latest is a divisive beast: some hail it as a creamy, dense honeyed musk, others smell baby wipes, public toilets, or play-doh. It's not a crowd-pleaser, but a distinctive, powdery-sweet enigma tailored for those who dare to be different.
A sugary, fruit-and-chocolate take on Mugler Angel's iconic gourmand shape - the candy-floss opening is genuinely loud and fun, but the base thins out fast where Angel's real patchouli-praline drydown just keeps going for hours.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent sweetness and powdery musk make it less suitable for a professional office setting. However, its warming, sensual nature works well for dates and formal events, though some find it too heavy for casual daytime wear.
Seasons
The sugary gourmand base wants cool air - it can turn cloying in heat, so it suits autumn and winter layering far better than warm weather.
Occasions
The candy-sweet, attention-seeking opening reads as fun for dates and dressed-up evenings but is too loud and sugary for the office or casual daytime wear.
