The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Holy Neroli by Montale was launched in 2023 and crafted by Pierre Montale, known for his ability to create fragrances that balance freshness with warmth. This scent opens with a burst of citrus from neroli and bitter orange, complemented by the zesty Sicilian bergamot. The heart introduces Tunisian orange blossom and Bulgarian rose, creating a floral bouquet that is both delicate and captivating. The base notes of cedar, musk, amber, and vanilla sugar provide a comforting warmth that lingers on the skin.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in the morning for a scent that evolves throughout the day. The citrus notes are most noticeable initially, but the floral heart and warm base notes will gradually take over as the day progresses.
