The story behind the bottle.
Herbal Aquatica by Montale was launched in 2022 and crafted by Pierre Montale. This unisex fragrance opens with a vibrant burst of Calabrian bergamot and mint, which immediately brings an invigorating freshness to the composition. As it evolves, sage and green tea notes add a subtle herbal depth, creating a balance between the aquatic sea notes and the earthy papyrus and Australian sandalwood base. The addition of lotus and vanilla sugar introduces a gentle floral sweetness that rounds out the scent with warmth and comfort.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting scent. The fresh top notes will fade within an hour but give way to a warm and inviting base that lasts throughout the day. It's best worn during cooler weather when its aquatic and woody elements shine brightest.
