Which Should You Buy?
This one is exactly what it says on the tin: a full-throttle patchouli beast. If you're patchouli-averse, run for the hills. But for those who love that earthy, chocolatey, damp forest floor scent, Montale delivers an unapologetically bold, unmissable experience that will get you noticed.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, with a challenging oud opening that either resolves into a golden amber dream or stays an 'offensive rat in decomposition'. Not for the faint-hearted, but worth it if you can ride out the initial blast.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
This perfume is a nuclear bomb in terms of projection and longevity, making it completely unsuitable for the office where it would offend everyone. Its bold, sensuous nature and significant sillage make it perfect for dates or cooler weather casual wear, though its intensity would be too much for formal settings or sports.

Occasions
