Which Should You Buy?
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.
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
Given its 'beast mode' performance and strong sillage, this isn't suitable for office wear. Its exotic, warm spicy character makes it perfect for dates and evening events, with some finding it versatile enough for special casual occasions.

Occasions
Given its moderate projection and longevity, Oriental Lounge is suitable for an office setting without being intrusive. Its warmth and subtle sensuality make it ideal for dates and elegant casual wear, while the refined amber and spice notes suit formal occasions. This scent is definitely not for sport.
