Which Should You Buy?
Divisive yet adored, Montale's Sweet Vanilla is a gourmand beast. For those who can handle its relentless sweetness and synthetic edge, it's pure, unadulterated edible joy - a true compliment magnet.
Prepare your wallet for a beating because this is a controversial masterpiece; a luxurious, tropical-gourmand skin-scent that has no orange, little oud, and an eye-watering price tag. Some love its intoxicating sweetness, others find it too cloying or overpriced.
