What does Montana Parfum d'Elle (1990) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the vote counts are small, so treat that loosely. Most voters pick spring and fall, with winter and summer not far behind. Evening is the most chosen time, with business and daily wear close behind. It reads mostly feminine, and a good share of voters also call it classic.

It opens bright and fruity with mandarin orange, bergamot, lime and ginger. The heart is a floral body of tuberose, hyacinth and ylang-ylang. In the base, amber, vanilla, tonka bean and oakmoss sweeten the cedar and tobacco, leaving a powdery, earthy warmth.
