Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Amber & Spices
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Burj
This one's a divisive oriental floral, with some finding it a generic floral-heavy mishmash that skews feminine and others enjoying its woody, spicy, and subtly vanilla nuances. Definitely try before you buy, as personal chemistry and preference dictate its true character.
