Unique but not good enough for the price.
Montabaco Intensivo is more than likable but the love is not there. It is the kind of unique, green, fresh scent I am looking for but nothing about it inspires me or makes me smile. For $365 USD it has to make me say “Wow” soon after I spray it. After three wearings I am still asking myself, “Do you like it? How does it smell in the air? Is it really projecting enough? Are you enjoying it?” That said, it’s greater later! I enjoy it progressively more as it dries down… after 2-3 hours. If I keep wearing it, I may grow to appreciate it one day, but I do not feel like growing into it right now. I may circle back to it next year.
Montabaco Intensivo is worth trying though! It is long lasting, well blended, sophisticated and will make a great signature scent. It smells rich. No one will smell like you when you wear it. It’s worth the price if you like it.
UPDATE: I circled back to my 5 ml decant and wore it three days in a row. I appreciate the uniqueness of Montabaco Intensivo now. Really appreciate it. Love it! My nose is maturing. A refreshing change from all the sweet spicy fragrances I often wear. Smells much better in the air. Trying to smell it on your skin is inadequate. However, it does smell better on skin the more it dries down.
