Intense Starry Nights by Montale, created by perfumer Pierre Montale, starts juicy and tart, apple next to bright Sicilian bergamot and Sicilian lemon. Rose and jasmine take the heart, backed by patchouli leaf for a slightly green depth. The base is where it turns rich: amber and Madagascar vanilla wrapped in woody notes and white musk, warm and a little sweet. Worn by both men and women, it fits anyone who likes a citrus start that turns darker. Voters keep it close through winter and autumn evenings, once night properly sets in. Longevity leans long-lasting in the vote, and sillage leans strong too, so a light hand goes far. A 3ml decant is enough to see out several of those evenings.

The community verdict
An amber and rose blend, Intense Starry Nights starts with apple and citrus before jasmine and patchouli lead into musk and wood. Wearers split between long-lasting and exceptionally long-lasting; strong projection leads, though some find it room-filling. Choose it for winter evenings, or autumn nights.

The house
More from Montale
Montale was founded in France in 2003 by Pierre Montale, who built the house around oud paired with rose and bottled it in his trademark aluminium flacons. Oud is still part of the story, but the range here runs mostly sweet and warm: amber, vanilla and musk, with coffee, caramel and tonka bean for richness and saffron for heat. Intense Cafe is the first one to know, rose and coffee over vanilla. Chocolate Greedy is a spiced cacao treat, and Arabians Tonka is a dense, sugary amber. Black Aoud goes back to the roots with rose, oud and patchouli.
