Montale Paris Tropical Wood

Mostly juicy and ripe, like peach, berry or apple. Underneath that, sugary and rounded, closer to dessert than to fruit.

It opens on passionfruit, agarwood (oud) and pineapple, moves through bulgarian rose and violet, and settles on leather, white musk and madagascar vanilla.

• oud: dense smoky resinous wood, rich and medicinal. An acquired taste for many Western noses
• pineapple: sharp tropical sweetness with a slightly boozy edge

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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