What do reviewers say about Arabians Tonka and Dark Purple?
This is what happens when Montale takes the leash off. The rose-tonka sweetness is real, but so is the oud beneath it, and that tension is exactly the point.Arabians Tonka
Most fruity-florals play it safe. Dark Purple doesn't, plum and orange open bright, but the dark rose and patchouli pull the whole thing somewhere deeper.Dark Purple
