Which Should You Buy?
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.
Citrus, litsea cubeba and cherry over jasmine and honeysuckle, resting on vanilla and sandalwood, with visible gold shimmer in the mist. A holiday scent that leaves glitter on the skin.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
Citrus, litsea cubeba and tropical white flowers are hot-weather materials, and the shimmer finish is designed for bare skin rather than winter layers.
Occasions
The gold shimmer makes it a holiday and evening product rather than a workwear one, though the scent itself projects very little.
