How is it calculated?

These markers are an editorial estimate calculated automatically from the perfume's real accords and their intensity, following the classic reading of scent families (hesperidics and aromatics shine in summer and at the office, ambers and gourmands in winter and in the evening…). They do not come from user votes and do not replace a test on skin.

Why choose one… or the other?

Why choose Montabaco Cuba

  • It brings what the other lacks — juniper, freesia.
  • Freshness dominates, with citrus and aromatic in the lead.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (freesia, juniper): the less conventional of the two.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “evenings & dates” ground.

Why choose Neroli Portofino

  • Facets Montabaco Cuba does not have: neroli, amber, white musk.
  • Warmth wins out, with amber in support.
  • No offer listed for the moment.

The verdict

  • Freshest

    Montabaco Cuba — signature carried by citrus and aromatic

  • Most enveloping

    Neroli Portofino — signature carried by amber

  • Most original

    Montabaco Cuba — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (freesia, juniper)
