The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016, Tropical Wood by Montale is an intriguing blend of fruity and woody accords crafted by Pierre Montale. The fragrance opens with the bright zest of passionfruit and pineapple, balanced by bergamot's fresh citrus notes. As it develops, a heart of Bulgarian rose and violet adds depth and complexity before settling into a rich base of oud, leather, vanilla, and white musk that reads as warm and enveloping.

How to wear it

Apply Tropical Wood in light layers, allowing it to build naturally on your skin. The fruity top notes are fleeting but vibrant; focus on the warm base notes that develop over time for a lasting effect.
