The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Pure Love by Montale, launched in 2019 and crafted by Pierre Montale, is an Oriental Woody fragrance that balances warmth with depth. The top note of rose introduces a floral elegance before giving way to the heart notes of sandalwood and vetiver, which bring both earthiness and sophistication. The base notes of vanilla, ambergris, and leather create a rich, enveloping aroma that feels both comforting and slightly mysterious.

How to wear it

Apply Pure Love to pulse points for a lasting effect. The base notes take about an hour to fully bloom, so plan accordingly. It’s best worn during cooler hours when its warmth can be fully appreciated.
