    At first, the black pepper note threw me off, but over time I’ve come to love it. It lasts around six hours, which is a bit short for a Montale, but just right for me.

    A beautiful fragrance for dipping into niche perfumery: a potent citrus opening with pepper that hits instantly and works brilliantly. It lasts over ten hours, garners compliments, and is very different from the usual. Suitable for any occasion, though it shines best in mild climates and at formal events.

    I’m not sure if it’s just my nose, but there’s nothing of ‘intense pepper’ about it. To me, it smells citrusy with floral nuances and a sweet, woody, amber base that makes it creamy. It’s very rich, but not the spicy perfume I was expecting.
