This one's a divisive beast. Some reckon it's a 'nuclear bomb' of an oud-incense wonder, a cheapie that outclasses niche. Others find it a weak, sweet, unwearable mess. If you're into unapologetically strong, smoky oud, you'll either love it or hate it - there's no in-between.

This one's a divisive Montale. What it promises on the tin - wood and spices - it delivers for some, but for others, it's a screechy floral mess, a generic freshie, or even worse, a whiff of cat pee. A chaotic opening often gives way to a pleasant, well-performing drydown, if you can stick it out. Definitely not a blind buy.
