Which Should You Buy?
Montale Pure Love opens with a zingy rose, quickly transitioning to a sweet, woody vanilla-leather and ambergris dry-down. It's beast-mode Montale, but opinions are divided: some find it beautifully unisex, others too masculine or even "bug spray." Definitely try before you buy.
Wave delivers a clean, uncomplicated floral woody musk that's approachable and a definite crowd-pleaser. It's safe, soft, and perfect for everyday wear, if a touch generic for more adventurous noses.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its beast-mode performance and animalic accords, Pure Love shines on dates and formal evenings, where its intensity can be appreciated. It's far too potent for the office and entirely unsuitable for sport, with its richness best suited to cooler weather.
Seasons
Occasions
Its soft sillage and clean, fresh accords make it ideal for office wear and casual outings, ensuring it won't offend. While not overtly glamorous, the gentle elegance could work for daytime dates and less formal occasions, but it might get lost in a crowd.
