Crystal Flowers
Crystal Flowers is Montale in an unexpectedly delicate register. White flowers and rose open with a soft floral brightness that iris then cools with a powdery, root-level quality. Jasmine threads through the heart with a warmth that prevents the composition from becoming purely transparent. Musk and amber in the base give the crystal-clear florals a warmth and persistence that the name promises through the imagery of light: the flowers crystallized in warmth and amber, held there indefinitely.
Why We Carry This
Crystal Flowers is Montale demonstrating that the house's material expertise applies equally to delicate florals as to the oud and musk compositions the brand is most known for. The iris-jasmine combination gives the white floral opening a structural complexity, and the sandalwood-cedar base gives it a longevity that lighter florals typically lack.
