    I love Montale. They are beasts and for that alone I’m invested. Arabians Tonka is flawless. I think you should sample more from them like: Mukhallat, Sweet Vanilla, Blue Matcha, Dark Purple, Mango Manga, and Intense Tiare. Not saying they are all full bottle worthy but they worth the experience. I own Mukhallat and it’s controversial but I didn’t hesitate to get it bc it’s so yummy and quirky.

    I love Montale's Ouds; they do woody frags so well: Honey Oud, Oud Tobacco, Fantastic Oud, Black Aoud...the ones mentioned are more favored by the guys, but are unisex and just gorgeous. I give credit where credit is due; so much of what we smell from niche houses is based on the work this brand originally did.
    I had to get over the bottles also, but I think the tin bottles allow the frags to age well and are incredibly light and easy to travel with.

    I love Italica and Arabians Tonka. I pair them with L'Occitane Amande Body Balm. Arabians Tonka is such a beast but a compliment getter. I dab it on from a decant instead of spraying it on.
    Italica reminds me of BDK's Velvet Tonka.
    I enjoy Montale's Ristretto Cafe, Chocolate Greedy, Crazy in Love & Sweet Oriental Dream.
