Amandes Orientales by Montale

*****
Year: unknown

Notes: roasted almonds, vanilla
Amandes Orientales crudely ventures into synthetic Play-Doh territory, while accompanied by a burnt note that dominates any naturally expected sweetness. Ultimately, the coupling of the almond and vanilla (along with an unidentifiable woody accord) leaves very little to be desired.

Personally, one found the composition to be both contrived and poorly executed.
