Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Montana Blu EDT
A joyous, fruity-floral ode to the turn of the millennium. Montana Blu is a blind-buy darling and a summery blast from the past, though its fleeting presence remains its one true flaw amidst its bright, carefree charm.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Norte Azure For Women EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Montana Blu - a floral fragrance led by bright opening notes, with musky depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

Season and Occasion Fit

Montana Blu

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh, light aquatic-floral nature and inoffensive projection make it suitable for casual wear and sports, while its poor longevity dictates frequent reapplication which wouldn't suit a formal setting. While it's generally office-safe due to its lightness, it might be too casual for some professional environments.

Norte Azure For Women

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the floral, musky profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the floral accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
