Which Should You Buy?
This Dominique Ropion creation divides opinion sharply, with some reviling its 'burnt rubber' opening, while others are utterly seduced by its smoky, sexy vanilla dry-down. If you can push through the rough start, you're in for a complex, masterful vanilla that smells far more expensive than it is. Prepare for compliments.
Prepare for a proper Montale experience: loud, proud, and in your face. Opinions are divided on whether it's a sweet masterpiece or a synthetic mess, especially if you're not keen on prominent oud.
