Sweet, airy, light vanilla and white florals.
Personal: 7/10 - It's fine. Sweet, creamy white florals aren't my thing, but I like it.
Mass appeal: 8/10 – Citrus and sweet, vanillic white florals are super safe.
Performance: 7.5/10 – Surprisingly strong for such a sweet/fresh DNA.
Value: 5/10 – Montale pricing is okay, but this is more designer than niche.
Uniqueness: 6/10 – It smells nice, but nothing new. Citrusy vanilla neroli freshies are everywhere. But props for making it so long lasting.
SCORE: 67/100
Full bottle buy? NO, it’s pleasant but redundant with other sweet white florals.
Blind buy? YES, safe enough if you like citrus-vanilla freshies that are floral.
Recommend? YES, if you want a louder, longer-lasting summer freshie.
Date night? NO, too bright and sweet. Not seductive. May work for summertime.
Office safe? YES, clean and cheerful, but spray lightly. Vanilla and citrus are loud.
Pros: Easy to wear, cheerful citrus, white floral, and vanilla. Solid performance.
Cons: Generic, redundant, leans juvenile. Not niche-feeling at all.
This isn't quite what I'm used to seeing from Montale. It's not very dark, or oud forward, rather it's not oudy at all. It's a bright, sweet, summery citrus with vanilla and lots of soft white florals. It feels VERY designer, though. Montale usually puts out something that's kind of niche smelling, but safe for niche, and this one just feels straight off the Sephora shelf. It's not bad, by any means, but it's not what I would expect from a niche lite brand like Montale. It's fine, but not memorable, and definitely a bit boring.
It's super summery and pleasant, but... it's kind of boring.
