    Real talk

    This one doesn't smooth its edges. Matcha and seaweed shouldn't share space, but here they do, and the tension is the point. If you want a fragrance that plays it safe, walk past.Frankenstein
    Montabaco rewards patience. The opening is excellent, but the real payoff is that suede-tobacco-sandalwood drydown. Give it time to breathe on your skin and it delivers something genuinely layered.Montabaco
