Montale Intense Cherry is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Pierre Montale. Intense Cherry opens with Bergamot and Black Cherry, settles into a heart of Rose and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Montale's Intense Cherry carries a Favourite verdict, a powdery-led wear.

Don't be fooled by the name - Montale's Intense Cherry is not what it says on the tin. If you're after a loud and proud cherry bomb, look elsewhere. This is a subtle, largely floral-musk scent with a fleeting hint of cherry, leaving many underwhelmed and wondering where the 'intense' went.

About

A faint whisper of black cherry and zesty bergamot leads the charge, quickly making way for a harmonious heart of demure rose and delicate jasmine. The dry down settles into a powdery, musky vanilla with a creamy sandalwood undertone, clinging close to the skin. It's a soft, almost ethereal experience, far from the promised fruit.
