Which Should You Buy?
Montale's latest is a divisive beast: some hail it as a creamy, dense honeyed musk, others smell baby wipes, public toilets, or play-doh. It's not a crowd-pleaser, but a distinctive, powdery-sweet enigma tailored for those who dare to be different.
If you love the original JOOP! Homme and want something smoother, a bit less loud, and arguably more versatile, Neon Edition is your jam. If you don't 'get' the OG, this isn't going to convert you - it's still very much Joop, just with a slightly toned-down vibe.

Its potent sweetness and powdery musk make it less suitable for a professional office setting. However, its warming, sensual nature works well for dates and formal events, though some find it too heavy for casual daytime wear.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and autumn.
Occasions
While smoother than the original, its inherent sweetness and moderate sillage make it a bit much for the office or formal events. It really shines in casual settings or on a date, where its seductive warmth can be appreciated without overwhelming.
