Vanille Absolu is a well-regarded Montale fragrance that most who enjoy it describe as delicious and a great value alternative to pricier vanilla fragrances. However, it's a polarizing scent with strong projection that not everyone appreciates, and some users report experiencing anosmia with it over time.

- Delicious and gourmand vanilla fragrance
- Good value alternative to more expensive vanilla fragrances

Weaknesses
