Which Should You Buy?
Divisive yet addictive, this Montale amber bomb demands patience. The opening is rough, but if you can push through, it transforms into a uniquely comforting, powdery amber that captivates loyal fans, but repels others.
This isn't your average vanilla; it's a surprisingly divisive beast. Some find it a comforting, sophisticated incense-vanilla dream, while others are baffled by its lack of sweetness and the heavy church-like frankincense. Definitely not a blind buy.
