SmokyWhat does Montana Black Edition smell like?
The top is led by lavender, mandarin orange, bergamot, cinnamon and pepper, with the spice giving the citrus some bite. The heart of rose, pine needle and sage adds a green, floral turn. In the base, leather, oakmoss, cedar and patchouli carry the weight, while vanilla and frankincense bring a resinous warmth.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it suits leisure and business settings best. It reads mostly masculine and classic. Krizia Uomo and Ralph Lauren Safari for Men have a close profile.
