Montale Fruits of the Musk is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Pierre Montale. Fruits of the Musk opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Raspberry, and Blackberry, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk. Montale's Fruits of the Musk carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Fruits of the Musk is a divisive one. You'll either adore its bright, juicy berry and clean musk blend, finding it uplifting and elegant, or you'll be put off by what some call a synthetic, cloying sweetness. This scent makes a statement - love it or leave it.

About

A vibrant blast of sweet and tart berries hits first, with strawberry, raspberry, and blackberry bursting forth, tempered by a zesty bergamot and mandarin citrus. This juicy opening settles into a soft, clean musk, underpinned by a delicate, romantic rose. It’s an effervescent, fruity-floral cocktail that manages to feel both familiar and uniquely Montale.
