Fruits of the Musk

I love this perfume and the lasting power is amazing. It smells similar (but stronger) than Philosophy's Falling in Love & Unconditional Love but lasts a lot lot longer. It lasted a good 14hrs on me and was still going strong. You get that lovely waft of blackberries, strawberries and raspberries and reminds me of tutti fruity sweets! Lol! It is absolutely gorgeous and not in your face strong either it is the type of perfume that you can wear during the day and in the evening and smells sooooo sexy also! It is the type of fragrance that has men coming up to you and smelling you and saying "Crikey you smell delicious, what are you wearing?" Which really boosts your confidence. Men used to do that when i wore Philosophy's Falling in Love but unfortunately that fragrance only lasted for a few hours (or maybe I could only smell it for about 3-4hrs?) BUT this one I can still smell 14hrs later which means I don't need to spray myself every few hrs and with this perfume you only need 1 or 2 squirts where as with Falling in Love I would spray it on my hair, wrists, inside elbows & on my clothes by the bust area! This one is just 1 spray on my wrist and tap it onto the other (DO NOT RUB as everyone knows you should NEVER do with a perfume)and 1 spray on my clothes by the bust area and I am done ALL day and evening (So in fact even tho this is more expensive than Philosophy you need less of it and it lasts a lot lot longer so works out a lot cheaper) I love this perfume and defo want more! Yum Yum is all I can say xxx

Dawn, bushes in the Rose Valley in full bloom. The petals, freshened from the berry red dew Radiating the sweetness of May. I bought it without having a clue how it smells and totally i'm not regretting it! A very universal scent, it can be worn at any occasion, best in the spring, but it will work in any season. When I did the first spray, I felt a really delicate citrus note, and the main was the raspberry! In matter of minutes, the bulgarian rose came up and yes, it is definitely a Bulgarian one! Fruits of the Musk is a good cocktail of roses and some hints of berry fruits, which elegantly fits my sillhouette! This scent is definitely not a bash in the face but calmly is making the aura of elegance and grace. I understand why many of the reviewers feel it "cheap" but the materials speak niche-level. Because it's Montale. Edit: I FINALLY felt the musk!! It was a summer evening at the seaside bar and after 2-3 hours of drydown on my wrist i felt a clean. white. musk. This scent has the pyramid. It changes. It just needs a lil bit more attention.

This is so pretty! At first it reminded me of my cousin and the perfume she used to wear many many years ago and I don't even know what that is. Even though I dislike her, she always smelled nice and this perfume just smells so nice, light and soft. It makes me feel calm and peaceful. When I read "fruits" I immediately thought about something sweet and annoying, but this isn't annoying at all, quite the opposite. I don't get the musk on my skin at all! It's definitely on my wish list now, but I don't think this smells like an expensive perfume you know what I mean? If I didn't know this is a Montale fragrance, I would've never guessed. Still, this is sooo nice I wish I had a bigger sample to see how much I would liked it if i used a few days in a row.

Whoa... Totally not what I expected. Very citrusy and astringent due to bergamot overload. If you are lucky enough to survive the initial citrus blast, you can smell the rose, some nondescript fruits (ok, it's mostly blackberries and raspberries) and burnt sugar. At first I didn't like it (because the bergamot note was overwhelming), it smelled off-putting to me (to the extent that I wanted to hit the "dislike" button!), but after a couple of wearings it really grew on me, and now I love it. It's very bubbly and sparkling like champagne. A high-pitched fruity floral. Almost an acquired taste fruity floral.

This is NOT discontinued. It's just not on the US website but I emailed them just in case, and it's still shipped to the US. Anyhoo, Fruits of the Musk is one of my all-time favorites. The formula is pretty simple. Just a clean, berry musk with prominent citrus that lasts, and a soft rose/peony scent. The base is clean, sweet musk. It's in the same family as Trish McAvoy #9, CSP Vanille Blackberry and Philosophy Falling In Love but more citrusy and a bit more concentrated. I just love this smell. I put some in a small atomizer so I can always have it near me to sniff.
