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.
