Montale Paris Oudmazing

Mostly juicy and ripe, like peach, berry or apple. Underneath that, smells like food: caramel, chocolate, vanilla, bakery.

It opens on agarwood (oud), fig and pear, moves through patchouli leaf, orris and egyptian jasmine, and settles on grapes, madagascar vanilla and leather.

• oud: dense smoky resinous wood, rich and medicinal. An acquired taste for many Western noses
• fig: green and milky at once: the leaf and the unripe fruit rather than the sweet dried version

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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