Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a boozy, caramelised dream, a dark and seductive vanilla for the grown-ups. Others are getting nothing but synthetic Play-Doh, baby wipes, or even bathroom cleaner. Definitely try before you buy, unless you fancy a gamble.
Montale's latest is a divisive beast: some hail it as a creamy, dense honeyed musk, others smell baby wipes, public toilets, or play-doh. It's not a crowd-pleaser, but a distinctive, powdery-sweet enigma tailored for those who dare to be different.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its sweet, gourmand nature, coupled with frequent mentions of a 'boozy' and 'seductive' vibe, makes it ideal for dates and evening wear. While some find it suitable for work, the sweetness and potential for divisiveness mean it's not a universal office pick.
