Comment: Fantasia CEMA pour Homme is an Arab Gulf states exclusive
In 2008, Montale released four fragrances, exclusively available to the Arab Gulf states (two for men and two for women). Fantasia CEMA pour Homme was one of them.
Where the Classic CEMAs are more focused on the traditional form of Middle Eastern perfumery, the Fantasia CEMAs are more Westernised in their olfactory tone. With regards to Fantasia CEMA pour Homme, it's simply a generic aromatic aquatic that's pretty much in the same vein as various designer Eaux de Toilette of this ilk. Showcasing sweet, woody and spicy accents, one is able to discern some evidence of citrus, a marine accord (probably calone rather than iodine), fennel, amber, sandalwood and musk.
With satisfying longevity and sillage, it could possibly work wonders during the summer months but one is still left nonplussed. An aquatic version of Iceberg's Iceberg Twice Homme and nothing more...
