Year: 2015
Notes: Calabrian bergamot, lemon, apple, Bulgarian rose, Egyptian jasmine, Sumatran patchouli, amber, powdery notes, white musk
Another Montale floral-oriental, another derivative floral release...
With obligatory citrus accords, a predictable rose and jasmine core, some patchouli and amber, and a powdery and clean musk base, the apple's fruity green presence throughout is the only aspect that makes it stand out. However, that alone isn't enough to salvage the composition from floral detergent mediocrity.
With respectable sillage and average staying power, it isn't as robust as Montale's older releases but still better (performance-wise) than a lot of this house's more recent offerings.
