Montale Paris Orange Flowers

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, spices and lemon, moves through orange blossom, honey and jasmine, and settles on vanilla, white musk and oakmoss.

• mandarin orange: sweet, soft citrus. Gentler and less biting than lemon
• spices: a general spiciness rather than any one spice

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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