Is it similar?

Let me start by saying if you own a lot of Montale fragrances, then this might just be an average fragrance. If you are starting a collection or just getting into fragrances, then chances are that this will be a love at first sight ... The combination of a tart but sweet green apple mixed with a nice red rose with a little touch of amber. This is a nice fragrance but for me, I own a lot of Montale fragrances and it's something that it is very similar to, but I just can't put my hands on it.

Smells like a high end cleaning product.

Personal: 6/10 – It's nice, but it's not something I could wear at all.
Mass appeal: 7.5/10 – Sweet fruity florals with musk are safe and likable.
Performance: 8/10 - Very solid, but not where most Montale frags are.
Value: 6/10 - Fair pricing, but still niche-lite prices for something kinda synthetic.
Uniqueness: 5.5/10 – Fruity-floral musk bombs aren’t unique, and this doesn’t break new ground.

SCORE: 66/100

Full bottle buy? NO, I’d rather wear other fruity citrus musks.
Blind buy? YES, if you want a safe, powerful citrus floral musk.
Recommend? YES, it’s a solid compliment-puller if you like citrusy musk bombs.
Date night? YES, it’s playful, fruity, and strong enough to be noticed.
Office safe? NO, too loud, a common theme with Montale fragrances.

Pros: Loud, long-lasting, fruity-musky citrus fragrance with great performance.
Cons: Synthetic, generic, syrupy. Not niche-quality blending.

Starry Nights is Montale’s take on a fruity-floral-musk that’s more polished than their usual rose-syrup bombs, but still is distinctly Montale-like with its sweetness and synthetic nature. It's not bad at all, but it's not something I find particularly wearable. To me, it smells kind of chemical-ey and cleaner-ish. It's for someone, but not me. I want to like it, as citrusy musks are something I usually love (Creed SMW) but this execution just isn't it.

A fruity floral musk on Montale steroids. Nothing unique, but very recognizable.

Review #105 in my fragrance journey – this fragrance I own as a decant

Scarry Nights?

No, it's not scary at all, quite the opposite! Finally, another one from the Essentials line, so without Oud:-)! Fruity-fresh, zesty and bright opening, fresh-sour including the typical Montale sharpness. Quite unusual for Montale, it doesn't feel forced, despite its synthetic nature!
Quickly it becomes floral and herb-spicy, taking on a masculine touch, despite the jasmine! I don't find parallels to men's deodorants from Axe or shower gels completely absurd, but still on a different level. The scent mix can be pleasing without being thrilling! Far from bad or underground... I don't even consider it average, but the spark just doesn't quite ignite.. and it doesn't have to. It has very good longevity of about 7 hours with the typical Montale sillage. It makes no mistakes and remains relatively unchanged until the end. It belongs to the better, albeit more inconspicuous ones from Montale. My favorite from the Essentials remains Red Vetiver.

A Starry Summer Night

Okay, it’s not a typical summer fragrance; actually, it’s more of a summer scent for those who dare to go for something a bit more striking... at least in summer!!

This Montale starts unusually fresh and isn’t as heavy as one might expect from Montale.... AT FIRST!!!
At the beginning, I smell a fresh shower gel note, but one that can’t be purchased at dm or Müller, rather in a more exclusive store! A shower gel that George Clooney might use... xD
After a while, however, the scent becomes softer and the typical Montale DNA reveals itself.... it almost becomes a bit powdery!! Who would have thought! But it is!

Since it is fresh yet soft and powdery, I find it wearable for summer ;) but it would also fit well in other seasons, as it doesn’t come off as ONLY fresh!

The name is somehow fitting.... because I associate a starry night with something fresh, but also with a hint of romance and mystery! Just like this Montale :)

Definitely a candidate for purchase for me :)

Regards
Angelina

Love on Trial

It was on a warm spring day in Seoul when Starry Nights and I first met. A young woman walking several meters ahead of me was wearing this fragrance. Every time a gust of wind tousled her hair, I was completely blown away. It smelled sweet, fresh, and luxurious... and had something magical about it. A unisex scent that turned my head. It was love at first sniff, and I convinced myself that our meeting was fate. I couldn't help but approach the woman.
Back in Germany, I bought the perfume without smelling it again first. That was probably my mistake. I was too naive, wearing rose-colored glasses. The scent suddenly unfolded completely differently on my skin than I remembered. It smelled much more masculine all of a sudden, and also very sour. The fragrance felt heavy and immediately became unpleasant in my nose. I couldn't explain it. How had I been so mistaken about it? After a few hours, it became a bit softer, sweeter, and more feminine - completely different from right after spraying it.
All in all, it's not a bad scent, but it should be approached with caution. I don't wear this Montale like ordinary perfumes, because this is not a fragrance you want to constantly have in your nose. It's too strong, too heavy - almost numbing to the senses. However, if you apply it to the nape of your neck or put a small spritz in your hair - then Starry Nights unfolds into something beautiful and undoubtedly unique.
