Montabaco Intensivo • Ormonde Jayne

The bergamot opening is so crisp and fresh, but it's the juniper berry and air accord that give it this cool, sophisticated depth. Lasts a solid six hours on my skin, which feels just right for this kind of scent.

The juniper berry and cardamom open sharp and green before the tea and violet soften it into something almost powdery. I get about six hours on skin, longer on a scarf, and it never turns heavy the way most woody scents do. Easily the most complimented thing on my shelf right now.

The tea and violet in the drydown keep this from turning into just another woody scent. It leans a bit sharp for the first hour, but once the rose settles in it's genuinely lovely. Lasts a solid six hours on my skin, which is more than I expected from something this airy.
