Montale

Vanilla Cake

Vanilla Cake by Montale is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with almond and buttercream, moves into milk and caramel and dries down to vanilla. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects very strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Almond Marzipan and cherry-stone. Sweet with a bitter undertone.
• Buttercream Sweet, fatty, vanilla-rich. Frosting rather than cake.

Heart

• Milk Soft, lactonic and creamy. Makes everything around it rounder.
• Caramel Burnt sugar. Rich, sticky and unapologetically sweet.

Dry-down

• Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
