Which Should You Buy?
A divisive oud for some, a crowd-pleasing Montale for others. If you're after a warm, rich, and unapologetically masculine scent that screams 'look at me', this is your guy. Don't expect subtlety, do expect compliments and a whole lot of attention from this beast mode fragrance.
This one's a proper dark horse - a challenging, art-school scent that's absolutely divisive. You'll either get its slick, vinyl-musk vibe and adore its edgy originality, or recoil from a 'burnt plastic' nightmare. Definitely not a blind buy.
