Amber Vanilla
Perfumer: Pierre Montale
Judging by the name, one would expect a kick in the face type of fragrance, a really strong sensual vanilla. You will be surprised, it is none of that. It is a floral apricot vanilla, rather dry vanilla and less sweet. It is actually a pleasant delicate scent. So not Montale! It is warm, the best time of the year to wear this fragrance is fall and winter. It is not strong, so you can easily let it shine during the day.
To my nose, it is vanilla nicely done; on the other hand, some will argue that it is nothing ground breaking, and we both are correct, I guess. In the end of the day, I appreciate it, it is a pleasant surprise from Montale and I do not have many quality vanilla scents in my collection. There is something relaxing about it and I like it more and more. I imagine a romantic spa in Maldives.
A fruity vanilla aroma. Addictive without being right in your face. 80/100
