Montale Paris Day Dreams

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel.

It opens on mandarin orange and orange blossom, moves through tiare flower, jasmine and neroli, and settles on vanilla, sandalwood and coconut.

• mandarin orange: sweet, soft citrus. Gentler and less biting than lemon
• orange blossom: the flower of the orange tree rather than the fruit: sweet, honeyed and a little green

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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