Which Should You Buy?
This one's a Montale but not as you know it. Crystal Flowers is either a gorgeous, fresh, delicate rose or a metallic headache in a bottle. Whatever your take, it's definitely a compliment magnet, but you might need to carry a decant.
Floral Rose is an elegant fragrance with a delicate blend of rose and musk, perfect for romantic evenings and daytime wear.
