by Montale
Pink Extasy by Montale is a sweet, fruity-floral fragrance that leans heavily into a pink, girly aesthetic with dominant notes of raspberry, rose, and iris. It opens with a crisp citrus freshness from orange and tangerine, softened by a pronounced, sweet peach center and a juicy, slightly sour fruitiness. The heart features a lush, opulent rose paired with a powdery, gauzy iris, creating a delicate, slightly gourmand texture reminiscent of hard candy or lip balm. As it develops, the fragrance settles into a warm, vanilla-infused base with white musk, giving it a soft, skin-hugging finish. While some describe it as clean, soapy, or even like a restroom air freshener, others find it surprisingly long-lasting, with projection and sillage that extend far beyond the initial spray. The performance is strong—particularly on clothing—and many report lasting wear for hours on skin and days on fabric. The scent is polarizing: some find it delightfully decadent and richly layered, while others complain about a synthetic or plasticky undertone that undercuts the sweetness, especially in the early stages.
