Montale Paris Diamond Rose

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

It opens on turkish rose, moves through geranium, patchouli and sandalwood, and settles on sandalwood and vanilla.

• rose: the flower itself, landing anywhere between jammy and fresh green depending on the variety used
• geranium: green rosy leaf, sharper and more minty than rose itself

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

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