Montale
Starry Nights EDP
“Warm night air and white flowers — the fragrance equivalent of lying on a blanket watching stars.”
Montale's 2015 launch — one of the brand's softer, more powdery niche compositions. A powdery-citrus-floral unisex fragrance with apple, bergamot, and lemon at the top, a rose-patchouli-jasmine heart, and a white musk-amber base with powdery notes. Performs strongest in fall and winter, evening-leaning, 8-9 hours with moderate projection.
