Oud Pashmina vs Tobacco Vanille

Oud Pashmina by Montale is recognized by the community for its impressive performance and quality ingredients, particularly its strong oud character. However, it appears to be a polarizing scent with limited discussion, suggesting it appeals mainly to dedicated oud lovers rather than general fragrance audiences.

Tobacco Vanille is a highly polarizing fragrance that divides the community. Fans praise its warm vanilla sweetness and longevity, while detractors find the tobacco note too reminiscent of cigarette smoke, particularly if they grew up avoiding secondhand smoke. Performance and tolerance appear to have declined with reported reformulations.
