How it moves
Up top: coffee and rose. Enjoy them; they will not stay. The middle belongs to rose and white flowers. The base is vanilla, amber and white musk. That is the bit on your scarf the next morning.
What wearers say
10,000 people have rated it, and they land at 4.24 out of 5. That is close to consensus, which almost nothing in this hobby achieves.
- Widely loved as a warm, sweet rose-vanilla, though many note the coffee note is faint or absent.
- Praised for great sillage and longevity, described as cozy and comforting but quite sugary.
- A divisive Montale; adored by sweet-lovers, dismissed by others as too heavy on candied rose.
Who made it
Pierre Montale composed it in 2013, for Montale in France. Montale's best-known gourmand pairs fresh-brewed coffee with sweet rose and vanilla, becoming a hugely popular crowd-pleaser despite the coffee often reading subtle.
