The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2010, Amandes Orientales by Montale is a fragrance that captures the essence of almond and vanilla in an oriental blend. Created by Pierre Montale, it opens with an inviting nutty almond note, balanced by sweet fruity undertones. The heart of the composition offers a powdery softness, while the base settles into rich, warm vanilla. This unisex scent is neither overwhelming nor understated, making it versatile for both day and evening wear.
Apply Amandes Orientales lightly, as it blooms on the skin over time and retains its warmth throughout the day. It pairs well with a light jacket or cardigan for added depth in cooler weather.
