Crazy In Love
Crazy In Love by Montale is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with saffron, rose, cardamom and lemon, moves into sandalwood, rose and violet and dries down to amber, vanilla, brown sugar, white musk and oakmoss. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects very strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
Heart
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Brown Sugar Molasses-rich sweetness. Warmer and deeper than white sugar.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
