The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2008 by Montale, Mukhallat is crafted by Pierre Montale and embodies the brand's signature blend of natural materials with an oriental flair. The fragrance opens with a fruity sweetness that quickly gives way to a balsamic heart of vanilla and almond, creating a warm and inviting accord. This is balanced by powdery and nutty notes in the base, which provide depth and complexity without overpowering the composition.
Apply Mukhallat to pulse points for maximum impact. The fruity top notes are fleeting, so layering it over lotion can help extend its initial burst of sweetness. For a more enduring experience, focus on the base notes by applying it close to the skin where they will bloom gradually throughout the day.
