Montale Paris Aoud Shiny

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, the flower itself, ranging from jammy to green depending on the blend.

It opens on bergamot, cassis and mandarin orange, moves through bulgarian rose, cedar and oud, and settles on amber, oakmoss and oud.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• cassis: blackcurrant: tart and purple, with a green, faintly sulphurous bite

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
