Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Scandal By Night EDP
A divisive yet sought-after gourmand, Scandal By Night is a honey-drenched, cherry-infused powerhouse. You'll either adore its syrupy sweetness or find it utterly overwhelming - there's rarely an in-between. Expect compliments, and expect to make a statement.

Our Verdict - Arabians Musk EDP
Montale's latest is a divisive beast: some hail it as a creamy, dense honeyed musk, others smell baby wipes, public toilets, or play-doh. It's not a crowd-pleaser, but a distinctive, powdery-sweet enigma tailored for those who dare to be different.
