Montale Paris Intense Tiare

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, sugary and rounded, closer to dessert than to fruit.

It opens on coconut and tiare flower, moves through coconut, jasmine and rose, and settles on coconut and vanilla.

• coconut: creamy and sweet, with a suncream quality
• jasmine: a rich white flower, heady and full. Up close it turns slightly animal, which some people love and others find too much

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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