Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Noir d'Arabie
This Montale Arabians Tonka clone is a steal at its price point, offering a more refined, less aggressive take on the sweet, ambery oud profile. It's a crowd-pleaser that gets even better after a few months of maceration.

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.
