This is Montale's attempt at the quintessential gourmand vanilla and it's a divisive one. Fans love the rich, sweet, and comforting scent, with some calling it 'the' vanilla. Detractors, however, find it synthetic, plasticky, and cloying. Approach with caution, but if you want to smell like cookies, this might be your jam.

État Libre d'Orange Frustration genuinely lives up to its name, proving to be a polarising blend. While some find it a cosy, deeply satisfying gourmand with an addictive nutty vanilla, others are utterly repelled by its intensity, likening it to rancid butter, peanut butter, or even burning tyres. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, so definitely sample.
