Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Orb of Night EDP
A luminous, enveloping scent with creamy vanilla and caramel over a softly floral heart, Orb of Night is an addictive, modern gourmand for those who love warmth and sweetness in their signature.
Statement
Our Verdict - Intense Cherry EDP
Don't be fooled by the name - Montale's Intense Cherry is not what it says on the tin. If you're after a loud and proud cherry bomb, look elsewhere. This is a subtle, largely floral-musk scent with a fleeting hint of cherry, leaving many underwhelmed and wondering where the 'intense' went.

Season and Occasion Fit

Orb of Night

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

With pronounced vanilla, caramel, and powdery fruit, Orb of Night excels in cooler seasons, especially fall and winter, but the floral heart also makes it suitable for spring evenings.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Romantic, gourmand sweetness with moderate projection makes it ideal for dates and casual outings, but the richness and warmth are too enveloping for sporty or professional settings.

Intense Cherry

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate sillage and lack of intensity make it suitable for close-quarters like the office or casual outings. While some find it romantic due to its subtle floral nature, the lack of projection and 'cherry bomb' effect makes it less ideal for formal events or sports.
