Chypre Fruite
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A modern chypre that manages to be both classic and contemporary. This is a classy, grown-up scent for those who appreciate depth over fleeting sweetness, though some find it a tad too much, or not enough, depending on their skin chemistry.
Divisive. Some find Montale Chypre Fruite a refined, modern chypre with a juicy, tropical twist. Others smell nothing but generic fruit, or worse, 'rotten fruit and burnt plastic'. Definitely test before you commit, as it's a beast if it doesn't agree with you.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
While some find it office-appropriate, its depth and sensual undertones make it better suited for evening dates and formal events. The warmth and richness of the fruity-mossy profile are less ideal for casual wear or sport.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its exceptional longevity and powerhouse sillage make it a bit much for the office. However, its unique, elegant fruitiness and compliment-getting reputation make it ideal for dates and casual outings, shining especially in warm weather.
