Montale's Wood On Fire Eau de Parfum is a remarkable fragrance that narrates the intimate intertwining of fire with human history. This unisex composition captures the essence of flame, awakening a sense of grandeur and inspiration with every note. Montale Wood On Fire is more than just a scent; it is a beacon of light that ignites passion and your inner fire.
The mysterious vanilla in the top notes offers a delicate beginning, akin to the gentle birth of a flame. The middle notes of amber bring warmth and intrigue, creating a soft heart filled with the energy of fire. Yet, the true magic unfolds in the base of the fragrance, where vetiver, sandalwood, and agarwood merge to deliver deep, rich woody and smoky chords, like a living fire that envelops you in its strength and magic. Wood On Fire rekindles your inner drive and energy.
It smells like sweet woody smoke with fruity freshness and pine. It's as if a bonfire was lit in the heart of a coniferous forest, and you are somewhere nearby on a clearing, catching a whiff of this fragrance. At the beginning, there is a pronounced fruity freshness. It reminds me of the sweet aquatic scent of watermelon. It may seem like an unusual combination, but it sounds interesting. Sandalwood and oud are not prominent and emerge in the base. The "heavy, smoky" vetiver is clearly identifiable, reminding you of its earthiness. It reminded me of the classic Encre Noire. It also resembles Secret Woods CoSTUME NATIONAL, but the latter is rougher. I don't know if it's a clone of Terre d'Hermes, but the perfume is great. It may not impress with its sophistication, but for its price, it's a fine thing. It has good longevity, with a significant trail in the first few hours. In the base, it smells of smoky vanilla, a bit of sandalwood, and synthetic oud, but all of this is overshadowed by a large amount of amberwood. It's not bad, but it's not as interesting as it was in the beginning. It sounds best in the first three hours while the "smoke" is noticeable. As for the downsides, the amberwood in the base is quite persistent. At the beginning, it feels like musk. Because of the amberwood, it sounds like any other perfume with it (in the base). But the first three hours are great.
