Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Guimauve de Nöel 31
A divisive take on the fluffy marshmallow trend. Some find it a delightful, airy orange blossom dream, others are left with a harsh, artificial, or simply weak experience that doesn't live up to its tempting name.
Statement
Our Verdict - Arabians Musk
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.
