Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Instant Crush EDP
A divisive beast mode scent that splits opinion down the middle. Some hail it as a superior BR540, a sweet, warm, and highly addictive sillage monster. Others find it an overpoweringly synthetic mess, headache-inducing, and lacking any nuance.
Statement
Our Verdict - Montera Instant Love EDP
Surprisingly good for its price, this dupe is a warm, cosy crowd-pleaser that delivers on its promise of an instant crush. It’s got a strong initial blast that quickly mellows into a long-lasting, inviting scent.
