Which Should You Buy?
This one is a love-it-or-hate-it beast. Some find it opulent and mysterious, others can't get past the animalic opening and declare it an absolute scrubber. Definitely not a blind buy unless you like a challenging scent experience.
This is a divisive Montale. Loved by some for its luxurious rose-oud-leather blend, others find it too harsh, synthetic, or just another variation on a theme. Sample first; it's a beast that definitely isn't for everyone.
