Montale Intense Amber is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Pierre Montale. Intense Amber opens with Rose, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Saffron, and Ambergris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, and Raspberry. Montale's Intense Amber carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-led wear.

Divisive, potent and utterly misleading: Intense Amber is anything but a classic amber. Expect a bold, sweet rose and raspberry bomb with serious staying power. You'll either adore its persistent fruitiness or find it overwhelmingly artificial.

About

Intense Amber opens with a rich, almost jammy Moroccan rose, quickly intertwined with the sweet, tart burst of raspberry. A warm, slightly spicy saffron then emerges, softened by creamy sandalwood and a prominent, salty ambergris that adds an unexpected aquatic freshness. The base settles into a comforting melange of smooth vanilla and clean white musk, extending the rose and fruit long into the drydown.
