Montabaco and its flankers are well-regarded within the community for quality and performance, with several users owning multiple versions. However, the brand's prohibitive pricing combined with poor sample availability and limited retail locations create significant barriers to discovery and purchase, frustrating even loyal customers of the house.

Layton is a well-crafted, versatile fragrance with strong performance that genuinely appeals to many in the community, but it remains highly divisive due to its premium $285 price tag that many feel is unjustified compared to cheaper alternatives like Spicebomb Extreme. The scent requires sampling before purchase as it's a polarizing fragrance that either wins people over gradually or disappoints them entirely.
