The story behind the bottle.
Red Vetiver by Montale was launched in 2008 and crafted by Pierre Montale. The composition opens with a fresh spicy blend of citrus and aromatic notes, before diving into an earthy core anchored by patchouli and vetiver. This contrast creates a dynamic tension that evolves throughout the day — crisp and bright at first, then richly warm and enveloping as it settles.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points — the citrus notes open quickly but dissipate within an hour. The patchouli and vetiver base then takes over, offering warmth and depth throughout the day. This fragrance is best worn close to skin for a more intimate experience.
