This is Montale Roses Musc, but instead of roses, there's peach here, and it's so juicy. If you don't like 'sweaty' fragrances, it's better to pass. I adore such musks, they're simply gorgeous. The fragrance is very bright and active, economical to use. It's better to spray on elbows and hair, don't bring it too close to your nose. It lasts all day, at least 24 hours. There's no subtlety here, everything is simple and straightforward. It's like a multifruit juice with a tang and musk. A playful fragrance, perfect for parties, the sillage is simply luxurious, no chemical smell. I'm absolutely thrilled!
How sad it is to realize that this fragrance is no longer available. It was so delicate, with floral notes that were perfect for everyday wear. Musk added softness, creating a feeling of freshness and intimacy. There was a light femininity in it, as if it embraced you. Apple blossom with a slight tartness gave it a special charm. Alas, now it's just a memory of something beautiful that's gone forever
How quickly it captivated me and then disappeared… I was in school back then, could only afford one bottle every six months. I went to L'Etoile for my third, but it had already been discontinued. I started trying different scents, and recently I remembered my school love from 10 years ago. I found it, bought it. It's still the same berry, vinyl, and musky scent. You wouldn't call it delicate; rather, it's mischievous. It's like Kate Moss - still sober, neatly made up, but still Kate Moss 😈
The scent, of course, hints at something from the past, but there's no mango detectable at all. It smells like some kind of lacquered wood, but with the addition of this lactonic nonsense. For me, this is the limit of retro. Anything more intense, I can't bear anymore. This isn't a fruity scent, but rather woody, with notes of dry herbs. After five hours, a quite pleasant base remains on the skin, but the final accord is definitely better than the top notes
At first, the bright patchouli might be a bit surprising, but soon powderiness, heliotrope, and even a slight lipstick nuance, reminiscent of the 90s, come to the forefront. It's not entirely retro as we know it. It's not that soft; rather, it's a bit prickly. For those looking for powdery jasmine in everyday life, this might be a good choice. And for women aged 30 to 50, it's quite suitable. I fell in love with the bottle, but the scent itself left me indifferent
Whatever happens, 212 VIP will always be in my bag. I've been using it since 2015, I've bought about 10 bottles already. Not that often, maybe 5-6 times a year, but I still like it and don't get tired of it. It's a common problem, of course, to fall in love with a scent and then a month later not understand what was so special about it. But 212 always makes me happy, and there's a place for it in my budget and collection. Autumn is its time. Walking, when the scent from your hair and scarf is pleasantly noticeable from a distance
Rose doesn't scare me, be it Turkish, May, or even Bulgarian. Musks are also held in high regard, especially if they have bodily notes. I like when a scent smells like something real, even sweaty bodies. This perfume doesn't surprise, there are no complex mysteries in it. Rather, it's something simple, classic. A rich rose on an old turtleneck worn by a young lady. The scent isn't sterile, but rather reminiscent of clothes soaked in sweat and roses. I like musks like that
