What is Montale Dark Purple perfume?
Top notes
In the beginning, the fragrance is represented by aromas of juicy plum, coupled with a cheerful orange. And the plum chosen is not simple. The perfumer has found the rarest dark variety, exuding an incredibly strong aroma and oozing when biting. Plum sets not only the general mood of the fragrance, but also influenced the creation of the external design (more on that later).
But the invigorating orange, chosen as a partner for the plum, is added to dilute the cloying aroma of the purple fruit and bring a note of brightness to the perfume. This is such a contradictory combination.
For some women who have tried Montal Dark Purple, the introductory fragrances are too concentrated. But this is only the first time. In just a few minutes, the smell becomes softer.
Heart notes
The bright continuation is expressed by the heart notes represented by rose, geranium, red berries and patchouli. The smell of the latter usually dominates in floral fragrances, which is why many mistakenly classify "Montale Dark Purple" as an oriental.
But velvety honey youngthe rose also does not let you forget about yourself. Its scent stays firmly on the skin and perfectly reveals itself under the influence of body pheromones. Bitter and tart geranium, combined with the rest of the components, suppresses these qualities, revealing a hidden fragrance and freshness.
Patchouli is an oriental spice that brings sweetness but not cloying to heart notes. On the skin, the fragrance also reveals itself as a natural aphrodisiac, which is why the perfume "Montal" (Paris Dark Purple) is so attractive to the opposite sex.
The aroma of heart notes is felt for 3-4 hours, and then smoothly, almost imperceptibly, flows into the loop. Many women like this property.
Loop sound
Musk, Indonesian teak wood and amber make up the base finish of "Montal Dark Purple". Sweet, dizzying, alluring - this is how you can characterize the trail that remains after the fruity-floral scent.
The basic composition is represented by aromas of the East. The persistence of these smells is amazingly long - from 5 to 8 hours. Many consider musk, teak and amber to be masculine fragrances, but pairing them with fruity-floral notes gives them a certain femininity.
The sillage aftertaste reveals all the luxury of this perfume, emphasizes the elegance, emancipation, sophistication of its owner.
Vial and packaging
The bottle from "Montal Dark Purple" testifies to the luxury of its owner. And, starting with the box. It is completely golden iridescent in color. On the front sidethe name of the brand "Montal" flaunts, and below in a purple frame is the name of the series. On the original perfume box, the letters on both the front and back sides are slightly pressed in, while on the fake they are simply printed, so the letters are easily torn off with a slight movement of the nail. Another distinguishing feature of the original from a fake is that the name of the series (the one in the lilac frame) is pasted on the first one, and simply printed on the second one.
The box contains a bottle, which is still hidden in the branded bag "Montale". The material from which it is sewn resembles dense silk. It is black in color, in some places golden logos are depicted. The top of the pouch is adjustable with a golden drawstring. A white label with the inscription Montale is sewn on the side.
The bottle itself is aluminum, made in dark purple color to match the name of the series. Kohler resembles a plum - a symbol of these spirits. The gold-coloured atomizer has the famous Montal's clothespin, which prevents accidental spraying of fragrance. The name of the Dark Purple series, located at the bottom of the bottle, is also glued (if we are talking about the original perfume). The cap that closes the atomizer is twisted. On it and on the neck of the atomizer there is a special thread for this. But if the cap does not twist, but simply puts on, while having a thread, then this indicates a fake.
The aluminum bottle is very light, it creates the illusion of emptiness inside, but it is not. It is filled with fragrant liquid just enoughas specified by the manufacturer.
The dark purple magical color of the bottle not only creates the image of a perfume, but also protects its contents from direct sunlight.
There are not many distinguishing features of a fake from the original, but it is easy to remember them. It should be borne in mind that even branded copies may have all of the above features. But if they are, then there are few of them, as a rule, only a box is made for the original.
For whom?
Female audience of any age can safely use Montale Dark Purple fragrance, reviews of which will follow. But many customers have noted for themselves that juicy plum and rose are combined with a young age of 20 to 35 years.
And by nature "Montal" does not make preferences. And a modest sweet girl, and a daring hooligan, and a business woman, and an elderly woman with a calm and experienced look - everyone can try on themselves the alluring perfume from the French brand.
When is the best time to use?
The description of the fragrance Montale Dark Purple says that "Dark Purple Montal" is designed "under the coat" to give "warmth and comfort" to any demi-season look. Bright accents of plum and rose go perfectly with autumn outerwear, beautiful boots and cozy scarves.
The use of the fragrance is also suitable for the period of early spring (March, early April), when nature is just awakening from hibernation.
As for the time of day,so it doesn't matter. Both during the day and in the evening, the perfume will be appropriate for going out. And it does not matter at all what you are wearing, an elegant evening dress or a business conservative suit. "Montal Dark Purple" will emphasize the importance of the image in any case.
Persistence and intensity of fragrance
Reviews of Montale Dark Purple note that the full disclosure of the qualities of perfume occurs in the evening, closer to night, when the air is cooler and fresher. It gives the fragrance full strength on the skin and allows it to open up to the maximum. At the same time, the amount of perfume applied to the skin may be small, even a couple of drops will complement the image.
On the body, perfume remains effective for 8 - 12 hours, and on clothes - from 1 to 2 days. And, as many women say, even after washing, the smell of "Montal" does not disappear completely.
But in the daytime, perfume should be applied in greater quantities than in the evening hours. Only then will Montal show all its characteristics, complement the image of its owner, emphasize her independence and not leave her unnoticed.
It's amazing that the perfume has amazing staying power, even though it contains 70-80% alcohol.
Where to buy?
You can buy a bottle from a well-known brand in Letual, Rive Gauche and other boutiques.
You can also order these perfumes via the Internet, but the choice of the seller must be done carefully. After all, it is in online stores that the risk of acquiring a fake is high. Russia has an officialrepresentative of "Montal", which has an Internet resource with products of a well-known brand.
Before buying in other stores, it will not be superfluous to read reviews about them. Then it will significantly reduce the risk of getting caught by scammers.
Price Niche
An important issue is the cost of 100ml Montale Dark Purple. This is the volume in which the fragrance is sold. In the Letual chain, a bottle from a well-known brand costs 4,600 rubles. When buying from an official representative via the Internet, perfume will cost 4,900 rubles.
It is worth considering that you can find options at very attractive prices - 2,000 - 2,500 rubles, but this will no longer be the original. However, there are also high-quality fakes, the property of which is the durability and richness of the smell. But what effect this will have on he alth remains to be seen.
Fragrances priced within 1,000 rubles should already alert the buyer, since Montal cannot have such a price.
