I loved the opening - an extremely dry and skanky rose, cold as ice and very elegant. After the first blast it became even dryer and I could swear it smelled a bit like urine on me, the sharpness...

The review below mine is dead-on. This is a classic Montale in sillage and fortitude. Montale has become my favorite perfume house, of course there are some fragrances of theirs that don't mesh...
