The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Highness Rose by Montale was launched in 2012 and crafted by Pierre Montale, known for his oriental creations that blend the mysterious East with Western elegance. This fragrance opens with a bright burst of rose, enhanced by subtle violet notes, creating an immediate sense of floral opulence. The heart softens into powdery warmth, balanced by warm spices, which ground the composition and add depth without overpowering the delicate rose.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points for optimal longevity. The rose opens quickly but fades into the heart within an hour, so reapply if you want to maintain that initial burst of floral intensity.
