Chypre - Fruite Montale for women and men

I definitely get the chypre base. Black currant, pine, similar to Enchanted Forest without the minty element. A bit pungent and masculine for me.

Funny, but this very far from being a chypre. As we all know, everything is about the skin chemistry, that is what I keep telling myself after reading so many reviews saying that this is an adult fruity chypre. On me it is not.
Let me tell you what do I get out of this. The first blast with bowl of sweet tropical fruits, it resembles some kind of drugstore shampoo at the opening as the fruits are kinda soapy-sweet. I do not get any "chypre" notes. What else do I get - I get jasmine, loads of it which simply sweetens the deal and makes this climb more away from something I could enjoy. As for oakmoss which seems to be pretty noticeable for everyone else - I get none. The same with patchouli and rose. Nothing.

A big bowl of tropical "shampoo fruits" with loads of jasmine tossed inside. Floral fruity. And not the best kind.

Hello,
I do not know about the CK Chock, but this Montale is extremely beautifull, very chic like I was told about, fresh, yammy, a bit sweet (not too much), hmm modern Chypre I would say, if You have been a bit wondering those old classical perfumes to be too much and still want to get to know on Chypre notes, this might be good where to start. I love all those old schoolish gems, this is modern. Wondering when weather dries very much here at hard winter time, this might be very "white" kinda scent, perfect for white snowy days.. I almost guess tropical notes are not dominent those days but chypre yess, maby at warm weather tropical notes comes out better. This is very interesting and definitely is something I want to have.

I don't see any resemblance between this and CK Shock whatsoever.

While Chypre-Fruite is definitely fruity, I would not consider it to be tropical, and definitely no berries. The non-specific "fruits" are the star of the perfume. If there is any moss to be found, well, I haven't found it. I was hoping for more of a classic chypre accord, something I thought Montale might do well, but if the word "chypre" wasn't in the name of the perfume, I would not consider this to be a chypre at all.

Even when a perfume doesn't live up to my expectations, I could still love it for what it is. Sadly, this perfume gets no love. It's too light, too bland, something on par with Britney Spears' or J-Lo. I believe this is my first Montale 'dislike'.

Yesterday i have tried at least 7 fragrances by Montale an this one the only one i really loved. It is a sweet-fizzy chypre, but not over-the top sweet like "Yvresse", no. Very delicate and later i figured out that it resembles CK "One shock for her" very very much!!! There is a bit of citrus, light flowers, watery notes and just a drop of chypre note. Perfect! I do enjoy it the second day in the row, since the staying power on my blouse is amazing! Every time i smell it i keep on wondering, what smell so good around here? Oh yes, it´s me! :)

I received my sample from luckyscent and my daughter commented that it smells like a rum drink in Montego Bay. lol Its seductive and its unisex. Its not too sweet. Its nice. I believe I will get this one nd Blue Amber too.

The name matches this scent perfectly.
This is a genuine chypre fruity!
Top notes reminded me a bit of Miss Dior Cherie.

But this one has a more 'adult' attitude: it's not that sweet and has a special - cold, crystal-clear - quality.
A transparent, mature fruity scent.
Very feminine.
I don't get any separate fruit notes, just a light moist accord.
And a suave garden rose.
Pretty! But not my cup of tea :)

Almost a dry, adult fruit scent. A good antidote to the fruity sweet department store types out there.

I got a sample from Lucky Scent and have tried it 3 or 4 times now. On me this is very soft and gentle but has no WOW factor. It lasts 3 or 4 hours on me. It is pretty but I would not invest in a bottle of it for myself. I'm really glad that I have samples because it is an inexpensive way to choose perfumes that are really good on you over perfumes that are nice but not for you.

nice but i dıdn't feel any fruits....
at night in the open air a smoky note comes out.....
longlasting and sits close to the skin...
but for me - not the one to buy...

this is just my FAVORITE perfume!! it's so feminine and longlasting...wonderful..
(quand je le porte je me sens très femme et son sillage est inoubliable et ne ressemble à aucun autre)
MONTALE fait des parfums merveilleux.
