Crazy In Love

Crazy In Love by Montale is a bold, intensely projecting fragrance built around a sharp rose and saffron core, layered with amber, vanilla, and metallic warmth. The opening is undeniably aggressive and overwhelming, with a bracingly medicinal rose and synthetic saffron that can feel harsh or even unpleasant for sensitive noses. After the initial burst, the scent mellows significantly, revealing a sweet, vanillic-amber dry down that lingers powerfully for over 24 hours. While many compare it to Baccarat Rouge 540 or Arabians Tonka due to its rich, gourmand-amberrosey profile, it feels less balanced and more abrasive in its execution. Some users find it addictive and deeply sensual, while others describe it as overwhelming or too one-note. It performs exceptionally well in sillage and longevity, so only a tiny amount is needed. The fragrance leans masculine due to its intensity and dry down, though marketed as unisex or feminine due to the pink bottle. It’s best suited for evening wear, especially during autumn or winter, and appeals most to fans of Montale’s signature intense, opulent style.
