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. BANGER. Scent: 9.6/10 Performance: 8/10 (for now straight out of the box, but will update in a month) Presentation: 10/10 Price: 12/10

This is by far the strongest fragrance I own at the moment. It’s also one of the greatest I own. My bottle at this moment has macerated a good 2 months and is crazy good. The vanilla in the tonka isn’t recognizably super vanilly if it makes sense. You really have to smell hard to understand it is vanilla you are smelling from the tonka. It to me is decently boozy rose with a very exotic sweetness. As a young person this gets me compliments from tons of girls and guys alike my age. This is especially true because this fragrance is deadly. 2-3 sprays max or else some people are probably going to get annoyed quick. It lasts easily 12+ hours on skin and still manages to be faintly smelled on clothes after a wash. Without wash this will be on your clothes for a week maybe more. Overall this is a great fragrance for a guy that wants a rosey fragrance. I blind bought it, it has done wonders for me, but maybe sample first. 9.5/10

Not sure whether it's a batch issue or people go nose blind or complain immediately without giving it a bit of time (I've come across countless Middle Eastern perfumes that went from a 3 to a solid 8 in a matter of weeks), but there is absolutely nothing wrong with the performance of my bottle, I even have gotten compliments 6 hours after application and can still smell it 10 hours later. On clothes even longer. Not even 3 weeks since I did the first sprays and the performance and smell only seem to get better and better. When you look at the actual voting on this site and sites like Parfumo (8.6 longevity, 8.2 sillage based on hundreds of votes) the vast majority of people seem to have the experience that Momento is way above average in terms of longevity and sillage. If you want pretty much guaranteed monster performers you should stick to houses like Ahmed Al Maghribi, that's next level stuff.

Im not sure if this is an inspiration or a clone of Arabians tonka, more leaning towards a clone in my honest opinion. AT is a very sexy oriental floral fragrance, the ingredients are well blended and shine. When it comes to Momento the moment you spray it, you get reminiscent of AT, however many people weirdly do not include the fact that no matter how well a dupe brand copies a fragrance it's never as smooth as the original, i have no hypothesis regarding how people perceive this smoothness in the air, but it does have rough edges. I would say that Momento gets roughly 80% close as even after smelling both whilst momentarily not having them both with me i still noticed something missing, but can we really complain for the price? Final verdict: Get AT if you manage to find it for under €80-90 otherwise Momento will fill out the void surprisingly well

Minimalist, classy, and quietly confident. Momento opens with a crisp touch of bergamot—bright, elegant, and just the right amount of zesty. That fresh intro melts into a soft, romantic Damask rose in the heart, adding a floral depth that feels modern, not powdery or old-school. The base is where it really shines: tonka bean, amberwood, and cedar come together to create a warm, woody-spicy cocoon. Smooth, slightly sweet, and grounded—this is the part that hugs your skin all day long. Genderless? 100%. Occasion? Signature scent energy. Vibe? Like wearing a well-tailored blazer with a touch of mystery. If you’re into elegant simplicity with a sensual twist, Momento is that understated gem that gets compliments without even trying.

This is divine and an easy new favourite for me. Very intense dark chocolate with a subtle sweetness and hint of smoke. What makes it stand out from my collection is how it manages to be sweet and chocolatey without being dense or cloying. I love layered fragrances as much as anyone, but it's nice to have something like this that doesn't leave you drowning in syrup every time you catch your own scent. It projects fantastically, even from a fresh bottle, though you'll want to avoid overspraying or you'll easily become nose blind to it. The box presentation is also very well-done. I gravitated towards this after seeing it being hyped-up as a top Arabians Tonka clone, and I'm glad I did, as it very much lived up to expectations.

Best dupe of montale arabians tonka period!! This is like 95% there compared to the OG infact i feel its more wearable version . More vanilla in this one if compared to the OG. Scent profile- Very wearable and friendly oud fragrance that feels very cozy than animalic, powdery tonka right from the first spray and burnt sugar and saffron ! Warm cozy slightly sweet with very beautifully blended rose! Longevity- 6-7 sprays project well for first 2 hours and stays on skin for atleast 7 hours ! On clothes the longevity on a safer side is more than 12+ hours! Though its not something that is blind buy safe always sample or buy a decant first before going for a full bottle. scent profile - 9/10 longevity- 8/10 projection- 8.5/10

YES PLEASE! I own the original. I love the original. Love it so much it has became my signature scent. When I fist sprayed Riifs Momento I was surprised of how close it came to the original. Then, around half an hour later I can say this: This is 95% - maybe even more - close to the original. It smells identical to most noses, that I am 1000% sure of. To me, Arabians Tonka has slightly more oud and tonkabean, than Riifs. Also: Momento settles down REAL QUICK compared to the original. The silage is good, and so is the longevity, but you get even MORE of that sugary, saffron, oudy sweetness, and a bigger performance with the original Arabians Tonka. That being said; I don’t think you can’t get a dupe any better than this!

As someone who owns the original, dare I say this can go neck to neck with the original. While the original opens more smoothly and calm down slowly while project like an explosive, Riiffs Momento has harsher opening and dry down swiftly. The only way you can point this out by having 2 fragrances side by side on skin and sniff it for the next 30 minutes. Otherwise it is impossible to tell which is which. Riiffs did a great job at capturing the ambience of Arabians Tonka- sweet warm sugary aromatic oud, but it failed to presents the oud as vivid as Arabians Tonka. I assume not many people will be upset with their oud being toned down, so for a 1/4 of the price of Arabians Tonka, I would recommend as an alternative.

I've always thought gatekeeping is super dumb, but this fragrance made me understand why some do it. This not a casual wear fragrance, this is a smell that I have described as going on a nice date, going to a high end play or event, basically this is what I would imagine Bruce Wayne would wear to a gala. I personally am not able to pull this off in many circumstances, so it has become my fragrance I spray my bed sheets with. Maybe sounds weird, but the rose and sweet notes makes you feel comfy and cozy, with a high end sophistication. Absolutely worth the buy. The thing holding it back here is the shear lack of versatility: 9/10

Momento by Riiffs is a rich, sweet, and comforting fragrance that instantly feels cozy and inviting. It opens with a warm, creamy tonka bean sweetness that dominates beautifully without being cloying. As it develops, the soft gourmand notes stay consistent, smooth, and addictive, making it feel indulgent yet elegant throughout the wear. It’s perfect for cooler weather or whenever you want a sweet, enveloping scent. The performance is solid, with good longevity and a noticeable, pleasant trail. This is a scent I genuinely enjoy wearing and one that I absolutely love for its sweet, comforting, Tonka-inspired character.

@TripleBee: I don't know what year/batch you have in your bottle...but the bottle I received literally lasts 24 hours on my skin and clothes if I don't shower or put the clothes in the washer. In fact, I only wear this once a week now because if I wear it more than that...all of my clothes smell like it...and I like wearing different fragrances. My bottle is "Chemical Warfare" strong and long-lasting, I'm sorry that you haven't received the same level of performance. I may have to split my bottle between two bottles and dilute it all. EDIT: Original faulty bottle wouldn't stop leaking, decanted into another bottle.

I sprayed it on clothes, and there was barely any projection (no scent detected). At least with the other perfumes I own, they still project a little on clothes. I had to spray it on my arms, and it projected really really well for the first 30 minutes to an hour. After that, it quickly became a scent bubble for 1 to 1.5hr. It lasted a total of 7 hours on skin. The notes are accurate, and the perfume smells just like that. The Longevity and Sillage have been updated. When I bought it, the longevity was shown as eternal...... I'm surprised that it performs poorly on clothes but performs really well on skin.

For the price, you really can't beat it. Totally unisex...and interestingly enough, this one smells super masculine on a man, but somehow still smells entirely feminine when worn by a woman. For the price you really can't beat it. I do find that I become nose blind to this fairly quickly, but smelling my wrist it is still there 8+ hrs. later. Definitely worth adding to your collection. Not sure how it fares in hot weather though. It is definitely better in cooler weather. Seriously, every single time I wear this, a female compliments how good I smell. 9.4/10

Really good perfume at this price and really good alternative of arabians tonka by montale ! Really close and even a more wearable version! Opens up with sugar saffron and rose, rose here is very prominent along with zafraan. Also you get hints of vanilla. Really good n mature scent profile but not blind buy safe , sample it before buying. This perfume smells very royal, can wear it in weddings or any traditional functions but yes wear during cold environments only! Lasting and projection are room filling I was able to smell on my blazer even after 2 days

Very rose heavy, the oud note presents with boozy caramelized vanilla and spices with a burnt sugar. Absolutely is a gourmand scent. If you like sweet dark florals try this out. If not, best to skip. WARNING: PLEASE SAMPLE THIS before you buy a bottle, and be aware that this is fucking loud and will make your uninitiated coworkers choke, which unfortunately makes this largely unwearable to work, at least in the hotter months. You could pull off 1-3 sprays in the winter I think, but still, be mindful of your coworkers.
