I want to start by saying believe the hype when it comes to this scent. It's a great smelling, strong fragrance! The middle eastern houses are getting insanely good. While we still need to be cautious of the online shilling/hype from the "influencers" there are still many legitimate quality fragrance releases such as this one. The amount of compliments I got from this fragrance just from the two times I wore it out for testing completely dwarfs every other scent I own. It's a very warm and inviting fragrance despite its crazy strength, and kinda reminds me of vanilla, almond, caramel, and sandalwood incense. On skin, it easily lasts 12 hours, and on your clothes it literally lasts for days. I sprayed it on a t-shirt and left it in the hamper for 4 days, when I went to wash it, it still smelled STRONGLY of this scent. Anyone on here saying it's weak and gone in 1-2 hours have to be going nose blind, there's no way this is a weak performer. I can't wait to see how much better this will smell and perform in about 3 months when it has matured some more & the fall season kicks in where I live. There is no doubt that this is built for the colder months. I plan to wear this both for daytime/work and evenings out. For work, you will just want to keep it down to two sprays on your chest/neck under your shirt. For nights out you can apply 4-5 sprays, and you will definitely project out and get noticed! I found my bottle online from GiftExpress for $25, which is an absolutely insane value for the quality and performance you are getting here

Review after 2.5 months of maturation. Dupe of: Arabians Tonka by Montale. I have only tried another clone of it, so I can't comment on the closeness to the OG, but Momento is definitely better than that clone. Appearance: Nice packaging, very good pressurized atomizer. Unique bottle with the open capitalized R cap. Value: Phenomenal fragrance for the price. I paid €19 for this, and it is the best price-to-performance fragrance in my collection. Scent: Sweet, somewhat creamy saffron in the opening, mixing with the heavy sweet rose and tonka bean after 10 minutes, becoming this sweet, powerful arabic type of scent. It is balanced with a very western oud that is very much in the background and not that noticeable. It starts becoming a bit more dry and woody in the late drydown, but the rose and tonka are present throughout the entire duration. Performance and longevity based on ~8 sprays: Almost beast mode projection in the first 2 hours, strong for 4 more hours, medium for 2 more hours, low for 1 more hour and skin scent for 5 more hours. So, projecting well for 8 hours. That's all you need to know about this powerhouse. Leans: Unisex leaning 10% masculine. A confident woman could easily pull this off because of the sweet rose, though. NOT blind buy safe. If I hadn't tried that other clone of Arabians Tonka, I would have not blind bought this. Season: Fall and Winter. Rating: 11/10 for performance, 9.3/10 for scent, 8/10 for versatility, 11/10 for value. General rating would be 9.8/10.

I recently purchased Riiffs Momento Eau de Parfum, and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. Right from the first spray, it hits with a bold mix of spice and citrus that immediately grabs attention. As it settles, the fragrance warms up into something richer and slightly sweet—I'm picking up on amber and maybe some tonka bean in the heart. The dry-down is where it really shines for me: smooth, woody, with a touch of smokiness and vanilla that gives it a refined, masculine edge. In terms of performance, it's impressive for the price point. I got solid projection for the first few hours, and it lasted hours and hours on my skin. It definitely feels like it's inspired by Arabians tonka , but it manages to hold its own without feeling like a direct clone. Overall, I'd say this is a great option for evening wear or cooler months. It gives off a confident, slightly mysterious vibe without being too overpowering. For anyone looking for a well-rounded, budget-friendly scent that still feels elevated, Momento is worth checking out.

Momento had been on my radar for a while and I finally pulled the trigger when I saw it online in some crazy Black Friday deal for just 18 Euros. And I gotta say that it smells like a very easy to like niche fragrance for the colder months and the performance is already pretty decent / above average as well and even though it's not really an issue I would be slightly disappointed if it won't improve in that regard based on the expectations I had ( but it most likely will in the upcoming weeks and months as with most Middle Eastern fragrances). My otherwise annoyingly picky girlfriend thinks that this is my best purchase of the year for what it's worth, better than my fragrances from houses like Ahmed Al Maghribi, Arabiyat Prestige, French Avenue etc. Gonna rock this one a lot this winter, my only regret is that I didn't order multiple bottles for that price.
