Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Missing Person

This one's a proper divisive scent. For some, it's a nostalgic, clean skin-like hug, embodying subtle intimacy. For others, it's a weak, fleeting whisper of nothing, or worse, a peculiar smell they can't quite un-smell. Try before you buy, seriously.

Our Verdict - Aqua Gold

This one is a divisive freshie from Montale - don't let the name fool you into expecting a typical light aquatic. It's potent and masculine, with some finding it a refined, long-lasting citrus-woody blend, while others dismiss it as an overly harsh, generic designer scent. A love-it-or-hate-it affair.
