Montale Boise Fruite is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Pierre Montale. Boise Fruite opens with Bergamot, Lime, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Violet Leaf, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Vetiver. Montale's Boise Fruite carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Boise Fruite is a divisive citrus-woody fragrance that splits opinion sharply. Many find it a fresh, potent summer scent with excellent performance, some even preferring it to the famed Silver Mountain Water. Others dismiss it as a harsh, synthetic disappointment.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a zesty burst of lime and bergamot, brightened by petitgrain. This fresh citrus top quickly melds into a green, aromatic heart where violet leaf and vetiver bring a slightly earthy, leafy quality. Sandalwood provides a smooth, woody finish, though some detect an almost metallic or salty undertone common to Montale creations.
