Intense Tiare Montale for women and men

wonderful..

WOW. Just BEAUTIFUL!!! This fragrance makes me think of desert islands i've never been to. It makes me think of a beautiful, colorful sunset at the beach while drinking coconut lemonade. It's a tiare fragrance but not like the other ones in the market, it's delicate and sofisticated. I chose to try a sample today after I showered and randomly i picked this one. What a great surprise!!!

Wearing this perfume is like drowning in a swimming pool full of the most beautiful-smelling, creamy, delectable suntan lotion. You have the extremely intense tiare working with the creamy coconut, and overall I love it but it's just too much of a good thing.

Most of all this fragrance smells the tiare note.

It reminds me a lot Songes by Annick Goutal because of the tiare, ylang-ylang, jasmine and vanilla notes, which are very noticeable.

But I like Intense Tiare more, because it smells more milky thanks to the coconut note and more gorgeous thanks to the rose note. Besides, it's more intensive and the sillage is stronger. Montale is famous for strong sillage fragrances, I guess.

I like it. Tropical flowers heaven in the bottle:)

I love everything Montale (even if it doesn't work for me) This is a lovely tropical scent. As expected of this house, a high quality well blended coconut, tiare flower and vanilla. Ideal for year round use. However, this is a much more expensive COPY of the 1975 Comptoir Sud Pacifique Aloha Tiare! I have the CSP and I'm very happy!! ;-)

Coconut is a difficult note for me, but here its really nice and grown-up. Not coconutsweet, more deep and halfway sweet in a good way. Blends wonderful with Tiare, Jasmin and Ylang-Ylang. I can't smell any roses or vanilla. A scent for summernights or sunsets and umbrella-drinks.

Kokosnöt är en svår doftnot för mig, men här är den verkligen härlig och vuxen. Inte typiskt kokosnöts-söt utan djup och halvsöt på ett bra sätt. Blandar sig superbt med Tiare, Jasmin och Ylang-Ylang. Jag kan inte känna någon ros eller vaniljnot alls. En doft för sommarnätter eller solnedgång med paraply-drink.

It reminds me of Fracas and Carnal Flower because of the coco feeling. Too bad it sits too close to skin and is not that original.

It is nice sweet tropical fragrance.Suitable for spring or summer. Nothing special but plesant.

if someone want to sell it, please PM me, i am looking for one

I bought this perfume while on a quest to find the perfect gardenia fragrance. Somehow, a review out there suggested this scent --perhaps based on others' perception of the closeness of Tiare and Gardenia. On a whim, based on the suggestions of the creaminess and sillage, I went ahead and bought this.

The opening of this fragrance is a bright and sharp white floral. It is heavier on the Jasmin notes, which reminds me of Thierry Mugler's "Alien" without the citrus. It can almost be overwhelming.

After about an hour, the fragrance begins to dry down and the coconut starts to heavily emerge. Over the next few hours, it just seems to become a creamy coconut perfume with a white floral base.

This fragrance lasts at least 8 hours on skin and even longer on clothing. The development of it seems to stop after the first 2 hours.

As an experiment, I sprayed this and Bobbi Brown Beach on at the same time on my skin. Surprisingly, they seemed to compliment each other in that soothing, beach fragrance.

It's a lovely scent, but it's not an every day fragrance for me. I wouldn't give it away, either. It's nice to have when you're ready for it.

Lovely fragrance though in my opinion and on my skin also, I find the coconut a bit dominant compared to the name "Intense Tiare"; I cannot detect as much tiare as my expectations would demand and I'm still grieving for the loss of Saint Barth's Tiarè :( ......
As many fragrances - by the same Maison - it does not lack of intensity: you can spray it in the morning and be sure about its fidelity!, up to tea-time. Beware if you spray it on your clothes as it could leave some stains.... Despite the Carebbean atmosphere it recalls and due to its reach intensity, I find it probably better for the cold season. Or at least, that's my idea as I live in Europe......

Lovely tropical scent that's well-blended enough to keep the coconut and tiare from turning this scent into suntan lotion, which unfortunately happens with way too many tiare/coconut scents in my experience. The ylang ylang adds a creaminess to the tiare and coconut, and just enough vanilla peeks out throughout the dry down to add just a dash of sweetness. Love it, and will definitely be reaching this when I need a bit of the tropics in my life.

To me this sent starts of with tropical sundown. Coconut like tropical sunoil and the magnificent night sent of white flowers. A few hours in the coconut fades in favor for the vanilla. On me it gets a bit powdery which for me is rare, not too much thou. To me this is not a shy nor a young sent. For dinners in high heels, this is provocative woman yet sexy and a sent young doughters could describe as wonderfull. The notes blend well on my skin. If I remarry i could concider this as the sent for the ocation, especially if it takes place barefoot at the beach ;-)

I don't like coconut in perfumes, it is usually dominating and has overwhelming sweetness. In this scent the coconut also dominates on my skin, but it is softened by other components, so I can stand it. I can characterize this fragrance with a quote from Britney Spears's song: "... I'm not a girl, not yet a woman..." A young woman 20-30 year that plays role of a sweet girl - that's that I feel wearing this perfume. Lasting power is very good and 2-3 sprays are enough, or you will have a headache.

Too sweet. I feel suffocated when I wear it. It is like every tropical flower on steroids and coconuts beating you over the head. Blech.

Intense tiaré est effectivement "l'artillerie lourde" du genre...Il faut aimer très fort cette fleur pour s'y aventurer. Elle est là, grasse, crémeuse, opulente. Mais aussi très classe et féminine, pleine de sensualité.

J'ai la version concentrée, qui offre une qualité comparable aux extrait de parfums.

NB : acheté à Paris Place Vendôme, avec un accueil vraiment indigne du genre!

I wanted this one badly... thanks to kittykati I received a decant... and stopped wanting it so much. This is, put in plain English, tiare flower on steroids. Take Annick Goutal's Songes, which is strong already, multiply it by 5, add some creaminess to it, and you have Montale Intense Tiare....Well, I adore all Montale's aoud scents, but this one leaves me cold yet intensely perfumed. Not on my wishlist anymore, it's just too much for me.

I really wanted to love this one based on the notes, and expected to do so, but did not. This has some pretty floral notes imbedded in it and it does an amazing job of capturing the feeling of a sugar high! When I smell and wear this, it tickles my nose all the way down to my stomach, the way marshmallows do...every time, without exception!

Just not on my skin. This is not working...Sad. I like the notes separately, but all blend on my skin, this is sour.

edit: oct 03, I like this now. GF sampled it and she also like it.


8/10

If you crave for tiare then you must try this baby ...
this includes allmost all of my favorite notes especially tiare! :D im fond of my bottle! this is strong stuff just the way i like it, the coconut note is also a little dominating but together with tiare they get along just fine
it's very feminine!
edit: this stuff is amazing! i put it on at 6 in morning and can smell it at 8 in eve! and i applied with light hand ^_^

This is really tropical, really coconuty, really intense, sweet and full of white flowers. To me this fragrance is also very feminine and sun drenched, initially quite strong, almost provocatively so, but quite graceful and sexy. I do seem to get some artificial, somehow "plastic" note soon after application, but it doesn't last long and so all in all I do like this fragrance, but I agree that it may be a bit too heady for warm weather.

Love this- smells utterly tropical but also sophisticated- not too girly! I get ylang ylang and coconut with a vanilla dry down. Would say it's more of a feminine fragrance.

I find too heavy for summer because the ylang ylang is very dominate on my skin but in the late stage of winter it's a wonderful reminder that summer will be back.
I do not smell any coconut or rose just a large amount of ylang touched softly with some jasmine and vanilla.
