Montale Paris Intense Cherry

Montale Paris Intense Cherry is a sweet, loud cherry fragrance for people who want the fruit note to stay front and centre instead of fading into the background. By our assessment, its strength is exactly that obvious cherry character, pushed into the plush, dense style Montale is known for. The trade-off is the same one that comes with many intense niche perfumes: the scent can feel heavy, sugary and a bit much if someone wants something airy or discreet. In practice it is the sort of perfume that announces itself early and keeps its shape for hours, which is why fans of bold cherry scents tend to like it more than people looking for a quiet everyday spritz. Against lighter designer fruity perfumes, it is bigger, denser and less polite. Those who want a softer fruit fragrance should look elsewhere, because this one stays unmistakably cherry.
