Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ylang 49

Ylang 49 is a divisive, full-bodied chypre floral. It's a proper grown-up scent for those who crave a bit of vintage drama, but beware: its potent sillage and enduring power aren't for the faint-hearted. It’s either a grand statement or a headache waiting to happen.

Our Verdict - Vetiver Patchouli

This is a grown-up, earthy take on vetiver and patchouli that's sure to turn heads, though its moderate performance might leave some wanting more oomph. Often compared to high-end alternatives, Montale's offering stands on its own as a fresh, clean, and surprisingly versatile scent for those who appreciate refined woody accords.
