Would like to be something he is not..
Despite the mixed reviews, I grabbed it when I discovered a remaining bottle filled with 25ml.
What does the new Montale smell like?
After spraying it on, there is a distinct popcorn note, which is quite nice, but not really exciting - neither super caramelly, nor particularly burnt or sweet.
Then it quickly becomes quite creamy and fangipani-heavy. The cream is slightly refined with unsweet honey, coconut is not really perceptible to me.
It actually stays that way. After a few minutes, an indefinable, gently pungent note emerges, which was described in the comments as being similar to "maggi herb", among other things.
The fragrance can still be detected the following day, but H/S are poor by Montale standards. The "cloud" loses intensity after several minutes and becomes close to the body.
En resumant: Not for me!
"Lucky Candy" wants to give (my interpretation!) a creamy Hawaiian South Seas spa vibe, which just doesn't work. I find the pungent fangipani honey cream rather unpleasant and the popcorn opening doesn't fit the fragrance pyramid. H/S are bad.
If you are absolute fangipani or cream fans, then go for it ;) I will definitely continue to smell it!
