The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Fruits of the Musk by Montale was launched in 2008 and crafted by Pierre Montale. This fragrance opens with a vibrant burst of citrus and green notes that create an immediate sense of freshness, before transitioning into a heart filled with sweet fruity accords and subtle rose undertones. The base is anchored by musky and powdery notes, providing warmth and depth to the composition. Fruits of the Musk is unisex in nature, offering a well-rounded olfactory experience that balances lightness and richness.

How to wear it

Start with one to two sprays on pulse points. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so the warmth of musk and powdery base will carry you through the day best when applied close to the skin.
