Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Lattafa 24 Carat Pure Gold is an unashamedly bold, challenging oud-leather beast that promises a riot of scent. If you're into strong, unapologetic Middle Eastern vibes, it's a winner, but don't expect a crowd-pleaser.
Montale Pure Love opens with a zingy rose, quickly transitioning to a sweet, woody vanilla-leather and ambergris dry-down. It's beast-mode Montale, but opinions are divided: some find it beautifully unisex, others too masculine or even "bug spray." Definitely try before you buy.

Occasions
Given its beast-mode performance and animalic accords, Pure Love shines on dates and formal evenings, where its intensity can be appreciated. It's far too potent for the office and entirely unsuitable for sport, with its richness best suited to cooler weather.
