Pure Gold by Montale opens on apricot and mandarin orange, juicy and bright from the first minute. Jasmine, neroli and orange blossom carry the heart, keeping it a proper white floral rather than a simple citrus splash. Musk, patchouli and vanilla settle underneath, warm and a little powdery by the end. It works for anyone who likes fruit and white flowers together, with no gender attached to it. Voters wear it across spring and summer, mostly during the day drifting into evening. The longevity vote leans long-lasting, while sillage leans strong, carrying further than you might expect from something this sunny. A 10ml decant covers a full season of testing before you decide on the bottle.

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.
