There is no point of this existing at all
Released five years ago as a “limited edition” exclusively for Harrods, it ended up being a complete and straight-up deception from the brand, proving that you should not believe everything niche brands say. This kind of dishonesty is something that we should not accept and will be displayed in my final opinion.

TOP NOTES
Verano is not a scent to be dismissed. It is a pleasant fragrance, a people-pleaser that most average consumers and enthusiasts will find enjoyable, reassuring its likeability. However, it’s worth noting that Montabaco Verano shares similarities with Bvlgari Tygar, Sospiro Vibrato, and other fragrances in its price range. The star of the show here is the grapefruit note. It’s bright and zesty and instantly awakens the senses. Grapefruit is a common choice for top notes as it offers a clean and uplifting quality, perfect for setting the tone for the fragrance. However, this grapefruit is miles below in quality and found in almost double the price of cheaper scents such as Terre d’Hermes Eau Givree and Light Blue Forever Pour Homme, which is a straight-up joke. Besides this uplifting citrus, I also get orange and juniper berries of the same quality found in Ormonde Man, some cold-pressed cardamom, and touches of clary sage, which are popular today.

HEART NOTES
As soon as the grand opening settles down, you can see Schoen’s signature in the heart and the base. Specifically, I like the way he mixes synthetic molecules with natural notes. Of the heart notes mentioned, the only ones I truly get are the green tea accord and the ozonic feeling of violet. In addition to those green and floral notes, the heart is dominated by an overdose of ISO-E-Super, cashmeran, ambroxan, and javanol.

BASE NOTES
Things fall apart at the base, so I’m glad I did not purchase Verano at its total retail price. It all boils down to the musky leather and ashy tobacco. The sad thing about this is that it doesn’t excel at any of those notes, which is more tragic when you know that all of these are my favorite notes in perfumery. But the funniest thing is that I like this fragrance regardless of its drawbacks and how it’s an expensive clone of Tygar with a couple of twists and turns.

OVERALL
love to wear this fragrance and will probably keep it in my collection until I finish it. Due to its obvious drawbacks, this review seems a bit more negative but realistically objective. I wish more reviewers had done more and kept the product pushing minimally. Look around the fragrance discounter websites, and you’ll likely find a much better deal than its retail price.

Ormonde Jayne beauty...
So what I get when smelling this a refreshing ripe Grapefruit that you just picked off from a tree. The type that just puts you in a great mood.

You the Rose then brings a slight powdery vibe and then as it dries down you begin to get a suede/ cashmere combination that’s been sprinkled with tobacco.

I remember having a sample of the Montabaco Intensivo and this one. With Montabaco Intensivo the Tobacco, Suede and the Sandalwood truly shines with that fragrance giving you that sensual and smooth type of vibe. With Montabaco Verano you're getting a vibrant yet seductive type of scent with the Grapefruit, Rose, along with the Suede to make this a gem of a fragrance.

Unfortunately not my scent at all
I have Montabaco Verano long ago as a bottling to a purchase in the Souk dazubek. I have now once again waited longer before I write my review, especially if this contains criticism. Here also comes to the fact that this is a very well rated fragrance.

Now, however, directly to my assessment: it is with Montabaco Verano already directly after spraying on a terrible synthetic prevailing. This is ISO-E-Super, the handwriting of Geza Schön you notice here clearly, because the original Montabaco was created by him. This ISO-E-Super note really destroys everything for me and pushes the actually great and very interesting tobacco so into the background and also the other notes have to subordinate themselves to the synthetic. I just can't say here that this perfume is good. In fact, this is where I take the liberty of saying that this perfume was terribly created. This ISO-E super note unfortunately remains permanently detectable for the entire 8 hours. I simply cannot comprehend what this use of synthetics is supposed to bring. A better durability in any case not, there is thereby also no progression, because the ISO-E-Super remains dominant in the top note, heart note and also in the base note.

It remains for me in the end a diffuse fragrance experience, how should I evaluate such a fragrance that destroys itself by a permanently dominant note. A good rating I simply can not give here. The whole fragrance pyramid is simply not there, it is a chemical, citrus and tobacco jumble.

Somehow I can not understand the good reviews, maybe I'm also very sensitive to ISO-E-Super.

The only good thing here is really the solid durability and silage.

I hope I could give you here my criticism factually and describe.

The Upgrade
Montabaco is already a masterpiece. Modern and yet with a classic masculine attitude. With this fragrance, Geza has delivered perfectly. For everyone who (or those who) liked it a little more edgy, the ISO-powered versions Intensivo and Extremé were soon available. The latter went pretty much to the limits that were just about legal as far as the concentration levels of the ISO-E-Super were concerned.

For me it was always the fresh start that made me so enthusiastic about Montabaco. This sourly citric melange with the basic theme of wood. And this is where the Verano comes in. Where other flankers rely on the higher ISO-E super dosage, it goes the way to force the citric and orange more.

And thus creates a significantly fresher Montabaco, which could also appeal to a younger target group in particular. It is easy to wear and yet has a very large unique selling point. While you can be fragrance-blind or even hypersensitive (like me) on ISO-E, every fan of the classic will surely find the welcome update here.

The fragrance is incredibly rich - 2 sprayers are perfect for my office situation and get me through the working day. In my free time - double it sometimes.

For me, Verano is the perfect balance of freshness, some fruit, lots of suede and wood.

You can't do much better than that

Montabaco Verano opens with grapefruit, Ambroxan and a woodsy note. The drydown is an airy ISO-E with tobacco and a hint of tonka bean.

I am not a lover of Montabaco, but I can say that this is very versatile for many occasions. Fresh, bright, pungent at times. masculine

Opens with a beautiful grapefruit note in the vain of Bvlgari Tygar, then settles down to the classic Montabaco DNA. Beautiful scent.
