Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Oriental Flowers by Montale was launched in 2008 and crafted by Pierre Montale, who has brought his love for the mysterious East to each bottle of the Montale collection. This fragrance opens with a bright citrus note from bergamot that quickly gives way to the rich heart of ylang-ylang, rose, jasmine, and orris root. The base notes of Peru balsam and amber create a warm, enveloping backdrop, making Oriental Flowers a composition that balances floral richness with woody warmth.
Apply Oriental Flowers with two sprays on pulse points — the base notes take about an hour to fully bloom. It reads best close to skin rather than filling a room, so allow it to develop slowly throughout the day.
