Montale Paris Arabian Musk EDP 100 ml

Montale Paris Arabians Musk EDP (100ml) is a 2024 release and a direct expansion of the popular "Arabians" collection (which includes the famous Arabians Tonka).

Since you are an olfactory enthusiast, you will likely appreciate that this fragrance moves away from the aggressive "beast mode" oud-sugar bomb of Arabians Tonka and offers a softer, more refined, and powdery interpretation of the Middle Eastern profile.

It is classified as an Oriental Floral Musk.

Top Notes: Sweet Honey, Bergamot Zest.

Heart Notes: Medjool Dates, Tunisian Orange Blossom.

Base Notes: Warm Musk, Vanilla Sugar, Venezuelan Tonka Beans.

The Opening: It starts with a distinct sweetness, but unlike the burnt sugar of Arabians Tonka, this is a golden, nectar-like sweetness from the honey note, brightened slightly by the bergamot.

The Heart: The Medjool date note is the star here. It adds a rich, fruity, and slightly chewy texture to the scent. It pairs with orange blossom to create a "Moroccan oasis" vibe breezy but warm.

The Dry Down: This is where the "Musk" in the name takes over. It settles into a smooth, clean, and powdery cloud. The tonka and vanilla sugar provide a gourmand undercurrent, but the musk keeps it fluffy rather than sticky.
