The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Starry Nights by Montale, launched in 2015 and crafted by Pierre Montale, is a fragrance that captures the essence of an evening under the stars. The composition opens with bright citrus notes from bergamot and lemon, providing a fresh and invigorating start. As it settles into its heart, rose and jasmine bring a delicate floral warmth, while patchouli adds depth and earthiness. The base notes of white musk and powdery accords create a soft, comforting embrace that lingers throughout the night.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points; the citrus top notes are bright but fleeting. The floral heart and powdery base will develop over time, making it ideal for a night out where you want something that evolves with the evening.
