Which Should You Buy?

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.

Our Verdict - Love EDP
Compiled from retailer sources: a citrus-sparkling-floral opening leads into jasmine, rose and peony, resting on white musk, sandalwood and vanilla - a soft, romantic women's fragrance true to its name.

Season and Occasion Fit

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.

Love

Spring

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

A soft, romantic floral well suited to dates and everyday wear, with enough polish for the office too.
