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.
This one's a divisive Drakkar Noir clone, with some smelling 'bug spray and rubber' and others loving its unique, gender-bending fougère character. It's potent, so expect to be noticed - for better or worse.
