Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Intense Cherry EDP
Don't be fooled by the name - Montale's Intense Cherry is not what it says on the tin. If you're after a loud and proud cherry bomb, look elsewhere. This is a subtle, largely floral-musk scent with a fleeting hint of cherry, leaving many underwhelmed and wondering where the 'intense' went.

Our Verdict - Verona EDP
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Valentino Born in Roma Donna (2019) - bergamot, jasmine and vanilla translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best For:
Date
Casual
Also Works:
Office
Its moderate sillage and lack of intensity make it suitable for close-quarters like the office or casual outings. While some find it romantic due to its subtle floral nature, the lack of projection and 'cherry bomb' effect makes it less ideal for formal events or sports.
