Montale Paris Sweet Peony

Mostly the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet. Underneath that, smells like food: caramel, chocolate, vanilla, bakery.

It opens on peony, moves through rose, peach and jasmine, and settles on vanilla, sandalwood and coffee.

• peony: soft pink flower, watery and lightly rosy
• rose: the flower itself, landing anywhere between jammy and fresh green depending on the variety used

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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