Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Red Tobacco Intense
This one's a divisive beast. Some say it's a refined masterpiece, a smoother, more sophisticated take on the original 'Red Tobacco'. Others reckon it's a watered-down, synthetic mess. But whether you love it or hate it, prepare for an absolute powerhouse. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you like your fragrances bold and unapologetic, this might just be your next obsession.

Our Verdict - Aoud Legend
This one is a properly divisive beast, not for the faint of heart unless you're one of the few who thinks it's a 'light' oud. Most folk are getting a powerful, leathery rose, with serious staying power. Montale are not shy, and 'Aoud Legend' lives up to the name for many.
