Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Montabaco Verano

This one's a divisive beast. Some reckon it's a sophisticated masterpiece for the warmer months, others find it a metallic scrubber. Definitely not a blind buy - sample first, especially if you're not keen on a prominent, at times harsh, grapefruit and suede combination.

Our Verdict - Montabaco Cuba

A fresh, fruity twist on the original Montabaco that's a crowd-pleaser for some, yet leaves others scratching their heads over its 'Cuban' identity and lack of prominent tobacco. Its limited edition status adds to its appeal for collectors.

Season and Occasion Fit

Montabaco Verano

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its fresh and sophisticated character makes it versatile for casual outings and dates, while the strong projection reported by many users means going easy on the trigger for the office. The unique combination of notes might be a bit too daring for highly formal settings, and the tobacco-suede depth makes it less ideal for purely athletic activities.

Montabaco Cuba

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal Sport

Given its fresh, easy-going nature and moderate projection, this fragrance is highly versatile for daily wear, suitable for the office or casual outings. While it has an air of sophistication that works for dates, its limited sillage makes it less ideal for formal events where a more commanding presence is desired.
