The fragrance of the niche perfume Montale Tropical Wood bestows a summer mood and invites you to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of exotic jungles. Stylish, bright, and unique, this unisex perfume perfectly complements the image of a creative individual and highlights your optimistic outlook. A remarkable blend of woody-musky and floral accents has harmoniously intertwined in this perfumery creation by the French brand Montale.
The joyous citrus scent of bergamot opens this perfumery composition. Fruity notes of pineapple and exotic passion fruit are "balanced" by the rich scent of Eastern agarwood. Following this, the heart notes are composed of velvety Bulgarian rose accords and the refined scent of violet. The final accords of this perfumery composition are presented by exquisite scents of luxurious leather framed by sweet vanilla and gentle streams of velvety musk.
It is definitely worth testing because I personally did not like it at all. It has a very specific scent that may not appeal to everyone. It smells like an old dusty rose and flowers from a closet. My boyfriend said it smells like grandma's perfume. And it is very powdery, extremely powdery. There is no hint of tropical notes whatsoever. However, it does have a plus point for its longevity as it lasts for more than 12 hours on the skin.
It's important to become friends with this fragrance. I ordered it on a makeup atomizer and was completely disappointed when I used it in Ukraine. However, as soon as I took it to tropical Thailand, it seemed to come alive with new notes. I can't get enough of it, I can truly smell the scent of jungles and blooming trees, it's magical! Perhaps it's the humidity and heat that affect the unveiling of the fragrance. In general, I bought it now in a larger size, as the consumption is minimal since the perfume is very long-lasting. It still smells on the skin even after a shower.
I bought a 2ml sample for testing. I actually ordered 3 Montale fragrances: Tropical Forest, Wild Pear, and Pure Gold. Out of the three, this one is my favorite. And I decided to get it in a larger size.
The fragrance is truly incomparable. The first 10-15 minutes it seems slightly suffocating, but then it unfolds. It's so excitingly sensual, not overly sweet or fresh. It's something special.
When my husband came home, he sniffed for a long time, trying to understand what smells so delicious. Then he realized it was me, appreciating the new perfume, and said the scent is very sexy.
Overall, it's a matter of taste, of course, but this fragrance suits me completely. It's mine, unlike the other two "Montales". I didn't understand Pure Gold at all, it's strange to me, a bit rough. Even the 2ml sample probably won't be used. Wild Pear is interesting, it definitely has something to it. And as for Tropical Forest, it's beyond praise.
In terms of longevity, all three are excellent: they last from morning to evening on the skin and hair, and on clothes for 2 days.
Favorite scent. All my friends and colleagues adore it. I love woody fragrances.
I purchased a 5ml sample of this product and initially didn't appreciate the scent, but now I can't get enough of it. When applied, it creates a sensation of a damp tropical forest after rain, adorned with flowers and herbs. The longevity is excellent.
I tested the fragrance in the store and bought the full version here. The "store-bought" one lasted on me for 3 days, but the full-sized one is not noticeable at all by the evening (I asked a friend to smell it). It's such a shame! Maybe the packaging is not airtight and the fragrance evaporated, I don't know... The same thing happened with the second Montale fragrance (I bought a sample before ordering the full-sized one). I have no doubts about their authenticity, as I always order perfumes on Makeup and the packaging is Montale's.
I first tested this fragrance at the store and then decided to purchase a sample. The scent is absolutely amazing, not overly sweet. At first, it may be slightly sharp, but then it develops into a magnificent aroma. It lasts for a long time and leaves a beautiful trail.
