Montale Day Dreams Eau de Parfum

Pierre Montale — the French perfumer who built the Montale fragrance house around a specific and entirely original creative vision of bringing the richness, the depth, and the specifically beautiful quality of Middle Eastern aromatic materials together with the precision and the compositional intelligence of the finest French perfumery tradition — captures in Day Dreams something more immediately and more universally beautiful than the rare oud or the complex rose-musk orientals for which the house is most celebrated: the specific and entirely irreducible quality of a midsummer evening, with the sun going down and the sky turning orange and pink, when the air is warm and slightly honeyed with orange blossom and jasmine and the whole world smells of the most beautiful season at its most specifically and most completely beautiful moment. Launched in 2017, Day Dreams is Pierre Montale's most specifically luminous and most immediately romantic feminine creation — a floral oriental of genuine joie de vivre and genuine tranquility that captures the essence of daydreams with the most precisely chosen and the most genuinely beautiful notes available for this specific and entirely enchanting olfactory portrait. Neroli and orange blossom in the opening for the most luminous, the most specifically warm, and the most genuinely and most evocatively citrus-blossom-appropriate first impression of any midsummer evening fragrance. Jasmine, tuberose, and ylang-ylang in the heart for the most immediately intoxicating, the most specifically beautiful, and the most genuinely romantic floral combination available to a composition of Day Dreams' most fundamentally and most completely beautiful creative ambitions. And vanilla, sandalwood, and musk in the base for the warm, sensual, and genuinely beautiful lasting depth that keeps the daydream alive from golden hour through midnight and beyond.

The opening of Montale Day Dreams is a two-note citrus-blossom accord of considerable immediate luminosity and considerable immediately distinctive, warm, and specifically beautiful character. Neroli provides the most immediately beautiful and the most specifically distinguished quality of the opening — its characteristic warm, slightly honeyed, and specifically beautiful citrus-blossom quality of considerable immediately distinctive and luminously appealing character. Neroli's quality of simultaneously citrus-fresh and warmly floral, simultaneously immediately appealing and specifically more complex and more immediately beautiful than simpler citrus notes gives the opening its most immediately luminous and its most specifically warm and honeyed citrus-blossom first dimension — the most direct olfactory evocation of orange-and-pink midsummer sky available to a feminine fragrance opening. Orange blossom accompanies the neroli with a warm, creamy, and specifically beautiful white floral-citrus quality — simultaneously immediately beautiful and more specifically floral than the neroli's cleaner citrus-blossom character, simultaneously deepening the opening's warmth with something creamier and more immediately and more specifically sensual. Together, neroli and orange blossom create a top note combination of genuine, immediate, and entirely luminous citrus-blossom warmth — the specific quality of the golden-hour orange-blossom air that is simultaneously the most accurate and the most specifically beautiful description of the Day Dreams opening character.

The heart of Day Dreams reveals jasmine, tuberose, and ylang-ylang — three elements of considerable immediately intoxicating beauty and considerable immediately sensual, specifically warm and romantic floral complexity. Jasmine provides the most immediately warm and the most broadly beloved quality of the heart — its honeyed, slightly exotic, and luminously beautiful white floral character deepening the warm citrus-blossom opening with something simultaneously richer, more richly floral, and more immediately and more specifically sensual. Tuberose accompanies the jasmine with the most immediately rich and the most specifically sensual white floral quality available — its famously honeyed, slightly heady, and specifically intoxicating character simultaneously deepening the jasmine's warmth with something simultaneously richer and more genuinely and more specifically sensual. Ylang-ylang completes the heart with a warm, slightly exotic, and specifically beautiful tropical floralcy — simultaneously the most immediately exotic and the most genuinely beautiful tropical element, its quality of warm, slightly sweet, and specifically exotic tropical character giving the combined heart its most genuinely exotic and its most specifically beautiful quality of warm, tropical, and richly beautiful summer-evening floral magic. Together, jasmine, tuberose, and ylang-ylang create a heart of extraordinary immediately intoxicating beauty, genuine immediately romantic floral complexity, and the specific midsummer night magic that is simultaneously the most accurate and the most completely beautiful description of the Day Dreams wearing experience at its most specifically and most genuinely enchanting.

The base of Montale Day Dreams is warm, sensual, and genuinely beautiful — a three-element foundation of vanilla, sandalwood, and musk that gives the composition its most lasting and its most warmly sensual dry-down character. Vanilla provides the most immediately warm and the most broadly beautiful quality of the base — its warm, creamy sweetness giving the dry-down its most universally appealing and its most continuously lovely quality of warm, comforting gourmand depth. Sandalwood contributes clean, creamy, and specifically beautiful woody warmth — the most naturally refined and the most immediately appropriate of available woody base materials for a composition with Day Dreams' aspirations of warm, sensual, and specifically beautiful midsummer evening character. Musk provides the most skin-close and the most genuinely personal quality of the base. Together, vanilla, sandalwood, and musk create a base of genuine warmth, genuine sensual beauty, and genuinely beautiful lasting character — a dry-down as continuously and as specifically lovely in its final hours as in the most immediately luminous and most immediately beautiful moments of the composition's golden-hour opening.

Montale Day Dreams belongs to the Floral Oriental fragrance family — and it represents that family with the specific quality of luminous, romantic, and genuinely beautiful midsummer evening character that Pierre Montale's most fundamentally and most completely beautiful floral oriental creative work most completely and most authentically delivers. The neroli-and-orange-blossom opening gives it its most immediately luminous and its most specifically golden-hour-appropriate first impression; the jasmine-tuberose-ylang-ylang heart gives it its most intoxicatingly beautiful and its most genuinely romantic mid-wear character; and the vanilla-sandalwood-musk base gives it the warm, sensual, and genuinely beautiful lasting depth that makes the full wearing experience of Day Dreams as genuinely and as continuously enchanting as the daydream of a perfect midsummer night it was designed to most completely and most lovingly capture.

Summer is Day Dreams' most naturally magnificent season — the neroli opening is most luminous in warm conditions, and the tuberose-ylang heart is most intoxicatingly beautiful in warm summer evenings. For casual daytime, summer evenings, and romantic occasions, it wears with complete joie de vivre. Every bottle at GuiltyFragrance.com is 100% authentic, brand-new, and sealed in original Montale manufacturer packaging — sourced from authorized distributors, never a tester or imitation — and backed by our free US shipping and 30-day return policy.

Scent Notes

Why Choose Montale Day Dreams

• 100% authentic Montale fragrance — brand-new, factory-sealed in original Day Dreams packaging, sourced from authorized distributors, never a tester or imitation.
• Three-flower heart of jasmine, tuberose, and ylang-ylang — the most immediately intoxicating and the most genuinely romantic floral combination in the composition, and the phase most directly responsible for Day Dreams' most specifically and most continuously beautiful quality of midsummer night magic. Three individually beautiful and specifically complementary florals of warm, honeyed, and specifically sensual character deployed together in the heart of a single composition creates a quality of genuinely extraordinary and genuinely romantic floral depth that simpler single-floral or dual-floral heart compositions simply cannot achieve.
• Ylang-ylang alongside jasmine and tuberose — the most genuinely exotic and the most specifically tropical element of the three-note heart. Ylang-ylang's quality of warm, slightly sweet, and specifically exotic tropical floralcy gives the combined heart its most genuinely and most specifically exotic dimension — the note most directly responsible for the heart's quality of genuine midsummer night magic and genuine beautiful tropical-floral romance that makes Day Dreams immediately distinctive from simpler or more conventionally European floral oriental alternatives.
• Neroli and orange blossom together in the opening — a two-note citrus-blossom opening of considerable immediately luminous and warm beauty. Rather than a simple citrus opening, Day Dreams opens with the warm, honeyed quality of orange blossom in two of its most beautiful expressions — neroli's cleaner, more luminously citrus-blossom character alongside orange blossom's warmer, creamier, and more specifically sensual quality — creating a first impression that is immediately and specifically golden-hour-appropriate in its warm, honeyed luminosity.
• From Montale Paris — the niche luxury fragrance house founded by Pierre Montale and celebrated for compositions of extraordinary longevity, extraordinary depth of material quality, and genuinely beautiful aromatic character. Day Dreams brings Montale's most specifically luminous and most immediately romantic creative character to its most accessible and most broadly lovely floral oriental expression.
• Outstanding longevity — most wearers report 8 to 12 hours of noticeable presence on skin, consistent with Montale's above-average performance reputation. On fabric, the base notes persist for considerably longer.
• Free US shipping and 30-day hassle-free returns on every order at GuiltyFragrance.com.
