Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Crystal Flowers Eau de Parfum

This one's a Montale but not as you know it. Crystal Flowers is either a gorgeous, fresh, delicate rose or a metallic headache in a bottle. Whatever your take, it's definitely a compliment magnet, but you might need to carry a decant.

Our Verdict - Chemise Blanche Extrait

A superbly executed clean-sheet fragrance, Chemise Blanche delivers a luxurious, airy musk experience. It's a crowd-pleasing, understated stunner for those who appreciate refined freshness, though some may find the subtle nature hard to justify for the price.
