I've been curious about this one so it was nice to get an honest take that was more than "it's beast-mode" and "ladies lovie it", like most others. I haven't really explored either house very deeply. I did pick up a bottle of Montale Oud Pashmina. While the oud isn't anything spectacular and has that signature screech to it, I do like the rose and the overall dark tone of the fragrance. It's a winter time signature for me at work. I like that I can break it out as a daily driver when I'm craving a rose/oud, whilst saving my more luxurious options for special occasions or events.

In my experience with Montale and Mancera less is more, I have about 4 from each brand and I don't think I need more, I have sampled many, they're very similar but I really like the ones I have, favorite Mancera: Hindu Kush favorite Montale: Ristretto intense Cafe. Thanks for the Unboxing Marc!!!

Im picking up on the typical Montale rose note in this, its quiet present behind the saccharine sweetness. The rose is a bit heavier dosed then in Instant Crush but other then that, they are redundant fragrances in my opinion. If you have one you can just forget about the other one because its borderline the same scent.

I am not a fan of Arabians Tonka. It is loud and I feel like it is for the compliment magnet crowd. As you said when you are a collector with vintage and Guerlain unicorns this is unlikely to be your jam. My husband wore it a few times and I had forbid him to wear that stuff as it is so nuclear and synthetic smelling. The scent used to remain in our home for days

Totally agree with your assessment. I bought it for my daughter because she wanted it. OK for the clubbing arena but I wanted to disown her when she came to the theatre wearing about 20 sprays of it. Loud and synthetic with not a lot else going for it.

I guess there won't be a montale/Mancera to surprise you, just because it is that kind of house, entry level. I can say that Montale Arabians(not tonka) is a better one from them, White Aoud, Black Aoud and I have heard that Vetiver Patchouli might be a good one(have not pulled the trigger as there is no Montale to surprise me).

Hi, what fragrance would you recommend for a 28 year old who is starting to be serious about life and wants to settle down type of guy. Also pretty athletic and in shape if that helps. The smell has to be sweet on it’s own, but avoid popular pleasers like this one. Recommend me one fragrance for summer and heat and one for winter and cold please :)
