Which Should You Buy?
A truly polarising scent. Some find Cuir Amethyste's violet-leather combo divine, a "holy grail" of elegance and sensuality. Others recoil from a "chemical soup," or a "wet animal hide" with cloying sweetness. Expect love-it-or-hate-it reactions.
Divisive yet addictive, this Montale amber bomb demands patience. The opening is rough, but if you can push through, it transforms into a uniquely comforting, powdery amber that captivates loyal fans, but repels others.
