Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Orchid Parfum
Black Orchid Parfum is a dark, intoxicating statement scent that commands attention with its lush truffle, plum, and chocolate facets over a spicy floral heart and opulent base. Not for the faint of heart.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Vetiver Patchouli EDP
This is a grown-up, earthy take on vetiver and patchouli that's sure to turn heads, though its moderate performance might leave some wanting more oomph. Often compared to high-end alternatives, Montale's offering stands on its own as a fresh, clean, and surprisingly versatile scent for those who appreciate refined woody accords.
