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.

Haters gonna hate

I’m honestly not sure why this fragrance gets so much hate. For a Montale release, this is definitely one of the better ones, no doubt about it.

And it’s not even overhyped.
Most of the hype crowd you see - groups of young guys walking into fragrance stores, debating which Montale or Mancera to buy so they can tell their later friends “Bro, niche is insane, I get only compliments”, they don’t even look at Starry Nights.
So yes, it’s absolutely worth giving this one a shot.

Now, about the scent itself.

It’s hard to describe what my nose is actually picking up. It feels like not much and everything at the same time. One thing is clear though: it’s sweet. But beyond that, there’s a whole story unfolding. From the first spray to several hours later, different notes come forward, fade away, and reappear. It keeps evolving.

I also wouldn’t call it a heavy fragrance. For some reason, it even feels refreshing to me.....maybe that’s the apple note doing its thing.
Completely underrated. Definitely worth testing. And honestly? Could even be a blind buy.

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
