Which Should You Buy?
This one is exactly what it says on the tin: a full-throttle patchouli beast. If you're patchouli-averse, run for the hills. But for those who love that earthy, chocolatey, damp forest floor scent, Montale delivers an unapologetically bold, unmissable experience that will get you noticed.
This is a bold, unapologetic saffron bomb, a love-it-or-hate-it scent for those who dare to stand out. Some call it metallic or a dentist's office, others find it an addictive, syrupy delight. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but a stunner if it clicks with you.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
This perfume is a nuclear bomb in terms of projection and longevity, making it completely unsuitable for the office where it would offend everyone. Its bold, sensuous nature and significant sillage make it perfect for dates or cooler weather casual wear, though its intensity would be too much for formal settings or sports.
