Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 06 Incense Rose EDP

This is a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a fizzy, vibrant opening that gives way to a truly unique incense-rose blend. It's potent, artistic, and certainly not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get' it are utterly enchanted.

Our Verdict - Oud Edition EDP

A truly gorgeous, if sometimes divisive, oud-leather blend that stands on its own. While the Montale-Mancera DNA is strong here, it's also a surprisingly smooth, rounded, and elegant composition that punches well above its price point.

Season and Occasion Fit

06 Incense Rose

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual Formal

Its potent projection and longevity make it less suitable for the office, potentially overwhelming colleagues. However, its unique and sensual profile makes it ideal for dates and evening wear, lending a mysterious aura. Casual wear is possible if applied sparingly, but it's too heavy for sport.

Oud Edition

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Given its beast-mode projection and longevity, this is best reserved for evening occasions or colder weather. It's too intense for office wear but perfect for making an impression on a date or at a formal event.
