Description

Montale's Starry Nights opens with a bright and zesty burst of Calabrian bergamot, crisp apple, and lemon, creating an initial impression that is both fresh and invigorating. As it develops, a rich floral heart emerges, featuring the romantic depth of Bulgarian rose, the heady sweetness of Egyptian jasmine, and the earthy warmth of Sumatran patchouli. The fragrance then settles into a comforting and sensual base of white musk, soft powdery notes, and amber, leaving a lasting, elegant trail. This scent is known for its potent projection and impressive longevity, making it a statement fragrance that evolves beautifully on the skin. Perfumer: Pierre Montale
