What do reviewers say about Arabians Musk and Byzantium?
Montale isn't always sweet. This one is, and owns it. Honey that's true to the jar, vanilla that remembers it's a pod, and a powdery musk that makes it work.Arabians Musk
This is one of the more interesting budget-orientals available. The almond-cinnamon opening has more character than you might expect from the brand. The drydown with cocoa and oud is where it earns.Byzantium
