Montale Be My Plum in plain words

What it smells like, how it wears and who it suits.

What it smells like

It opens with green plum, juicy and a little sharp, with pink pepper and a hint of oud behind. Tuberose and tropical white flowers bring a creamy heart. It settles into a sweet, milky blend of coconut and vanilla over soft musk.

How it wears

The perfume community reports very long wear and strong projection, so a little goes a long way, though some wearers find its projection more moderate.

When to wear it

Wearers favour it in autumn and winter, and mostly in the evening. It can work by day too if applied lightly.

Who it suits

Suits someone who likes a sweet, fruity white floral with some depth and is happy to be noticed. A wearer who prefers a quiet scent may find it a lot, so go lightly.
