What do reviewers say about Velvet Flowers and Vespers?
Montale makes bold statements. This is the soft one. The warm, powdery, sweet-as-overripe-peaches one that some reach for when the usual intensity isn't what they're after.Velvet Flowers
Powdery can skew old-fashioned, but Vespers keeps it modern through sheer restraint. No cloud of baby powder here. Instead, the violet and lily of the valley read like pressed flowers in a book.Vespers
