Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Roses Elixir Eau de Parfum

A divisive Montale offering - fans rave about its fruity rose charm, calling it a Miss Dior Cherie stand-in. Detractors brand it a synthetic, cloying mess. You'll either adore this vibrant, playful rose or find it a real scrubber. Blind buy at your own risk.

Our Verdict - Black Sesame Extrait

This one is a divisive but intriguing floral gourmand. Some rave it's an addictive, compliment-getting marvel; others find its performance just alright, leaving them on the fence about a full bottle. Definitely sample it to see if it grabs you.
