Gold Flowers

Having sadly never smelled Gio, I got 2ml of this on a whim when purchasing other samples. Turned out to be the seller's last wee bit, and I am gutted. I only recently started quite enjoying white florals, so I got this tentatively, and just... it's just so good. The tuberose is thick and intoxicating, but the clove (and perhaps the red pepper) lighten it. The sandalwood is dry and lifts the spicy notes up further. Drydown is white floral and soft woody, not dominated by oud, and not too warm. Longevity is good, sillage likewise, as one sort of expects from Montale. I'm not sure I'd want to wear it in a heatwave as it's so powerful on opening and miiiight lean toilet cleaner in high heat, but normal soggy Irish summer is fine with it. Honestly, I hate that I love it so much. There are no bottles to be had anywhere, not even a 1ml decant to be found no matter how I google. Please get in touch if you've got some lying around the place. Or even if there's an affordable dupe. Right now, nothing else I try can quite match it :(

An oriental fragrance with a beautiful tuberose! Very charismatic and sophisticated,ambergris in the background gives the perfume a distinct and unique aura of the floral scent! the brightness of the tuberose is always present in every phase,the sandalwood is there but is not strong. I can not hear the chili, cloves instead are fairly obvious. Overall a nice perfume, but not suitable for every day,is a perfume for those who love tuberose, if you love a bit woody floral and sophisticated this does for you. The sillage is great very good longevity. Sillage: 8.5/10 Longevity: 9./10 Scent: 8./10 Overall: 8./10

I feel like the name of this more accurately reflects the fragrance than the notes. From the notes and comparisons I was expecting an amber tuberose with a kitchen-sink perfumey aspect. Instead this is almost beachy with a slight shampoo feel. It’s amazing in the heat. I’m crazy about it.

just got it love at first spray.. not a big fan of Montale, but love tuberose and spice. The spice is very well blended here and the tuberose is fresh. (this may be a bit sharp for some people as Amanda has mentioned) Definitely a fall-winter perfume. For me it seems energetic.

For tuberose lovers:) It's the leading note in this fragrance for sure. The spicy note are not annoying at all in this one. It doesn't seem too interesting to me, so I wouldn't buy it. But I rather like it than don't.
