Montale Paris Wood Spices

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on cardamom, leather and oud, moves through sandalwood and vetiver, and settles on amber.

• cardamom: cool green spice with an aromatic, almost soapy lift
• leather: like a new leather jacket: dry, smoky, faintly bitter

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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