About This Perfume
Montale Tropical Wood smells like tropical fruit, violets, and musky leather. It opens with passion fruit, pineapple and bergamot, moves into violet, jasmine and patchouli and settles on white musk, leather and sandalwood. It reads unisex.
This fragrance is best in spring, summer and fall and is easy to wear day or night. It suits casual days. Released in 2016.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects strongly and fills a room. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fruity and sweet for casual days.
- Sample first if: you are unsure about strong fruity notes; this one divides opinion.
- Skip if: you dislike sweet fragrances.
Around $124.
