The other day in the perfumery in front of the Montaleregal, a woman next to me sprayed a fragrance on the test stick. I thought to myself: "Wait a minute, I know that one!". I had to think for a moment about where and then find out whether we were standing in front of the Montale or Xerjoff shelf. When I asked the lady which fragrance she had used and she showed me the Herbal Aquatica, I had to test it on my skin. And the almost identical notes in the opening of Erba Pura were very clear. This continued right through to the end. There was a hint of freshness and a little bit of typical Montale DNA. This makes it subtly different from Erba Pura. I find it more pleasant. But I still prefer to smell both on others than on myself. Both are somehow too overloaded for me.

Can we please talk about this beautiful bottle once? Wow Orange and gold stand here for noble but also playful and tangy. That's how I would describe the fragrance as well. You are looking for Neroli? With this fragrance you get it in loaded power! I noticed this spicy-sweet neroli scent notes about 6 hrs on my skin. The way it greets me in the opening, it stays with me quite constantly. Only some freshness put itself in, which I found very good, as it was already quite engagingly sweet in its neroli spice cloud. After 6 hrs, I still perceived sweet-soft vanilla paired with musk. On clothes, I'm sure it lasts even longer.
I would advise against a blind buy here, as it is already very special. I like neroli vanilla scents, but this one has for me evt. by the included spices a too special touch. H/S is very good. Even after showering one perceives him still.

This fragrance is the cracker! I ordered him first as a bottling, but that will not last long. The starts on my skin with a mixture of cinnamon and leather (although not listed) and a sensual sweetness on top. It's so harmonious to me. I was hoping the whole time that it wouldn't change much after opening. And thankfully, it didn't significantly. I still welcomed the orange in perfect measure. Otherwise, an excellent unisex fragrance. I've had to smell it on my wrist so many times and it's a super sign with me. H/S are good. It's not a beast, but I would prefer it more in the fall and winter.

For beginners in the oud area, as I am, well suited. Oud gives the pace at the beginning and says with the pepper already very clearly "hello". Quickly, however, the vanilla pairs with it and gives the tart prelude a warm and sweet note. Yes, I thought to myself, I can handle that. After 20 minutes, the oud wasn't really noticeable anymore. I smelled pure vanilla. This unfolded through the sandalwood sensual and creamy. For me, it quickly became skin tight and after 4 hrs smelled like a body lotion I know. So already very pleasant, but has for me now no recognition value. The H/S is okay, although here certainly the dose makes the poison. Otherwise, very suitable for everyday use and for my imagination rather wearable in autumn and winter.

I first ordered a tester to make sure it was something for me. Well, is it? I tested it on several days and there were from "Nope, does not go at all" to "wow, he has something", everything there. It starts spicy, tart through oud and saffron. The rose can not wait to push itself into the center. This I smell unfortunately very long and intense out. It puts itself quite quickly still the praline to it and thus he no longer seems so spicy, but rather powdery rosy and of course the oud is the whole fragrance course over, present. In the heart note, unfortunately, I do not like it, but in the drydown. The vanilla lays down with a calming effect on the previously very loud fragrance partners and so he smells perfect for me. H/S top! Definitely a candidate for autumn and winter.
