Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L’Ambre des Merveilles Eau de Parfum
Divisive and understated, L'Ambre des Merveilles is a softly sparkling amber scent that some adore as a sophisticated skin scent, while others find it too faint, linear, or even a bit 'old school'. Expect a warm embrace rather than a bold declaration.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Patchouli Leaves Eau de Parfum
This one is exactly what it says on the tin: a full-throttle patchouli beast. If you're patchouli-averse, run for the hills. But for those who love that earthy, chocolatey, damp forest floor scent, Montale delivers an unapologetically bold, unmissable experience that will get you noticed.

Season and Occasion Fit

L’Ambre des Merveilles Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Its moderate sillage and 'skin scent' reputation make it office appropriate, while the warm, inviting amber and vanilla lend themselves well to dates and casual wear. It's less suited for formal events due to its understated nature and not at all for sport.

Patchouli Leaves Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

This perfume is a nuclear bomb in terms of projection and longevity, making it completely unsuitable for the office where it would offend everyone. Its bold, sensuous nature and significant sillage make it perfect for dates or cooler weather casual wear, though its intensity would be too much for formal settings or sports.
