Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - French Leather Eau de Parfum

This is a fiercely divisive rose-suede beast, with a hefty price tag that makes the 'love it or hate it' crowd even more vocal. It's either an understated luxury or an old lady's handbag - no middle ground here.

Our Verdict - Montabaco Verano Eau de Parfum

This one's a divisive beast. Some reckon it's a sophisticated masterpiece for the warmer months, others find it a metallic scrubber. Definitely not a blind buy - sample first, especially if you're not keen on a prominent, at times harsh, grapefruit and suede combination.

Montabaco Verano Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its fresh and sophisticated character makes it versatile for casual outings and dates, while the strong projection reported by many users means going easy on the trigger for the office. The unique combination of notes might be a bit too daring for highly formal settings, and the tobacco-suede depth makes it less ideal for purely athletic activities.
