Montabaco Rio

This is so GOOD! The opening is very fruity. Well blended though. Not screechy or too sweet but very tropical. I thought it was too feminine at first but as it dries down that classic Montabaco DNA comes out. It just works. I don’t have Erba pura but I do have Al Haramain Amber oud gold edition and I can see how they can be compared but they are very different. This blended so smoothly and isn’t cloying by any means. I think this would also smell amazing on my wife to. 100% unisex. And the bottle is fire to.

Beautiful perfume, leaning more feminine than unisex. Could be worn in any season. I wanted to love it and buy, but it's just too feminine for me. The light Ormonde Jayne base combined with fruitiness pushes it to feminine side, although if you dissect it to Ormonde Jayne DNA and you add fruits to it, you can call it unisex. If you're a guy aiming for very fruity vibe that will project like crazy in heat, check Summer Hammer.

The Montabaco DNA is clearly detected underneath this absolutely beautiful fruity, extremely elegant notes. The projection is mild but is a fantastic flanker. Very unisex, at least on my skin and very fresh and airy. Total full bottle worthy but the price is still a little high.

For me it was - Xerjoff Cruz del Sur II that was one of the best mango scents at first. Still amazing. I found over time however that it was just that little bit too much in sweetness that made it more a novelty than a signature worthy or dressy scent for a guy.

This is a beautiful fragrance that is very reminiscent of Erba Pura (Xerjoff) because of its fruity aspect but also very close to Prima Donna (Sospiro) because of its leathery/smoky aspect as well.
