Crystal Flowers

Crystal Flowers by Montale is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with mandarin and clove, moves into rose and lily of the valley and dries down to amber and musk. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects very strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Clove Hot, dry and dental. Powerful — a little goes a long way.

Heart

Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.

Dry-down

Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
