Montale Paris Arabians

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on cardamom, lavender and red thyme, moves through rose, patchouli and vetiver, and settles on agarwood (oud), leather and ambergris.

• cardamom: cool green spice with an aromatic, almost soapy lift
• lavender: clean herbal flower, cooling and slightly soapy

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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