Which Should You Buy?
A divisive Montale offering - fans rave about its fruity rose charm, calling it a Miss Dior Cherie stand-in. Detractors brand it a synthetic, cloying mess. You'll either adore this vibrant, playful rose or find it a real scrubber. Blind buy at your own risk.
A divisive floral-fruity that aims for classic elegance on a budget. It's either a fantastic, clean scent that punches above its weight, or a synthetic mess that misses the mark entirely. Blind buy with caution, but if it works for you, it's a steal.
