Which Should You Buy?
A truly gorgeous, smooth oud-leather scent, though some find it a bit too typical for Montale. Performance is a mixed bag for many, with some experiencing strong longevity while others get only a fleeting whisper. Consensus says it leans masculine, despite its unisex billing, and it's definitely not for the uninitiated.
Junoon is quite unique, a warm, spiritual journey that's not for everyone, but deeply cherished by those who get it. Expect an Indian temple, not a beach party - it's an experience.
