Which Should You Buy?
Femme de Montblanc is a divisive beast. Some adore its chocolatey, spicy warmth, finding it elegant and unique. Others are left scratching their heads, baffled by its shifting character or disappointed by its performance. Definitely a 'try before you buy', this isn't for everyone.
Kat Von D's Sinner is a divisive cult classic - one minute a 'sexy bubblegum' femme fatale, the next a 'plain, generic' scent. If you're after a dark, plummy patchouli with an 'old-lady' opening and a surprisingly soft landing, you might just find your new signature. Just don't expect it to last.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its warm spicy and gourmand accords, particularly in the EDP, make it suitable for dates and formal events, creating a sensual and memorable presence. While some find it office-appropriate for its 'serious' vibe, the potential for strong sillage (in EDP) and its distinctive character mean it's best applied lightly in professional settings. It's a bit too rich and complex for casual daytime wear or sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and 'dark, sexy' character make it excellent for dates or formal evening events. The 'warm, vanilla plum' and 'spicy dream' aspects also suit casual autumn/winter wear, but its intensity means it's less ideal for the office or sport.
