Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Awraq Al Oud EDP
This is a seriously polarising scent - some love its 'clean oud' vibe, others get hit with pure granny soap. If you want to smell like an expensive bar of soap from a fancy hotel, go for it. Otherwise, sample first, unless you're into a bit of a gamble.

Our Verdict - Amber & Spices EDP
Divisive, powerful, and unmistakably Montale, 'Amber & Spices' is a polarizing powerhouse. Expect a bold, woody-spicy kick that some adore for its exotic sensuality, while others find it aggressively synthetic and overwhelming.
