Which Should You Buy?
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.
Rebellicious channels Viktor & Rolf Bonbon's gourmand-candy character but swaps the caramel-driven signature for a simpler citrus-berry-vanilla scent that is louder at first spray and fades much sooner than the original.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
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.
