Tropical Wood

by Pierre Montale

Montale Tropical Wood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Pierre Montale. Tropical Wood settles into a heart of Rose and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, and Vanilla. Montale's Tropical Wood carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one is a real paradox - 'Tropical Wood' promises sun and exoticism, but for many, it delivers a hefty dose of powdery rose and medicinal oud that leans more 'grandma's lipstick' than beach holiday. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with fans cherishing its unique fruity-oud balance and dissenters finding it completely misnamed and overpowering.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Its strong projection and longevity mean a heavy hand would be inappropriate for the office, but its unique character makes it a good choice for casual outings or dates. While versatile across seasons, its intensity might be too much for formal events depending on application.

About

Tropical Wood opens with a vibrant burst of juicy, tart fruits, particularly pineapple and passionfruit, quickly countered by the deep, slightly medicinal earthiness of oud. As it settles, a prominent powdery rose and violet floral heart emerges, lending a clean, slightly soapy quality. The base reveals a tenacious, creamy vanilla and musky leather, which grounds the initial fruitiness into a more complex, long-lasting aroma.
