Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Amber & Spices EDP
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 - Oriental Lounge EDP
This 'modern oriental' is divisive; some love its smooth, unique spice and comforting amber whilst others find it 'thin' or too powdery. If you appreciate a more subtle take on the genre, this could be your surprisingly elegant secret weapon.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Formal
