The New Rose

The New Rose by Montale is sweet and floral in equal measure, with smaller touches of wood and citrus. It was released in 2016 and is worn by anyone.

Lemon, raspberry and black currant open it with a bright, juicy and tart fruitiness. Peach adds a soft, velvety sweetness. Rose, including Bulgarian rose, is at the centre, full and rich, supported by ylang-ylang for creamy warmth and lily of the valley for a fresh, dewy note. The base is soft and smooth, with vanilla giving a comforting sweetness and sandalwood a creamy woodiness.

Sweet and cheerful, it suits spring and autumn, for daytime, dates and evenings out. Anyone who loves fruity rose fragrances with a vanilla sweetness, and who wants a modern, playful rose rather than a classic, powdery one, will find it a pleasant choice. As the name suggests, it aims for a fresher, more youthful interpretation of rose that feels juicy and bright.
