So many people don’t understand that Chypre is a genre in the scent world, not an old-fashioned composition…
All in one this one here is pretty good and modern and a special Chypre. Oakmoss and green notes are strong in the beginning, later come the fruit notes and flower on the stage, it dries down to a patchouli-citrus-jasmine, very intensive and long-lasting. I like it!

I agree with some other reviewers that this one’s rather generic, but not in a bad way – it smells nicely “perfumey”, for lack of a better word, which I guess is where the “chypre” part of the name comes in: in my head, that’s the category of scents that smells more like perfume than any other perfume. And as for the “fruité” part, that’s very clear: the opening is super fruity. But it’s fruity in a none-specific, soft way, very luxurious, mixed with jasmine. As it dries down, a similarly gentle kind of oakmoss becomes dominant, underpinned by quiet, dusty musk and patchouli.
All in all it’s quite an oldfashioned scent, comfortably feminine. I like it, but that’s as far as it goes for me personally – so I’ll leave my sample behind with fond memories but no regrets.

واقعا بوی قشنگی داره
پخشش متوسط و ماندگاری اش هم خوبه
یعنی مثل بعضی کارای مونتال بمب نیست ولی به عنوان یه کار چهارفصل یا فرش خوبه

One of the best dry-down fragrances in my collection…
Montale’s Chypre Fruite is a beautiful blend of floral and fruity notes. This fragrance is unique – soft and floral that initially leans toward feminine lines, yet a dry down that somehow, and magically, pulls it back to the “middle of the road” and safe to be worn by both sexes. This fragrance could very well be the best dry down in my growing collection – given the appearance of the musk and patchouli notes, it morphs into a pleasant fragrance and is truly spectacular.
As with most fragrances in the Montale line, performance is spectacular – lasting 7+ hours on me and even longer on clothing. Projection is slightly beyond arm’s length distance. Given the DNA makeup of Chypre Fruite, I would suggest spring and/or summer wear with occasional wear on those crisp early fall days with plenty of sunshine (just like today in South Carolina). Chrpre Fruite will be a crowd pleaser and compliment magnet that will generally be appropriate for any event, but use caution in “close quarter” settings – the Montale line can be “loud” in the beginning… One additional note about Montale fragrances – the presentation is extraordinary. The bottles (or perhaps canisters would be a better description) are like nothing else in my collection – light as if they are filled with only air… The safety clip is also signature Montale. Well done…
My final tally of Montale’s Chypre Fruite is 4.4 stars out of 5 stars with a solid love for the Fragrantica community. The only thing separating this fragrance and being a Top 5 performer is the limited wear of softer fragrances. If you enjoy softer lines with great performance, I highly recommend adding Chypre Fruite to your collection. I also recommend to the avid collector adding this fragrance to your stable – the dry down is amazing and the fragrance is unique to attract the compliments. Great fragrance..!!
Enjoy your day and happy fragrance hunting…

I loved the scent on paper. As soon as I put it on my skin I had rush on my skin and I started sneezing. I must be allergic to an ingredient in it. I had to wash it off. But even after that the scent was still present so the longevity must be good! I will give it another try, perhaps it works next time.

Where is chypre?! I just want to call it “light fruity something”. Not the best by Montale(

Chypre Fruite smells wonderful on my skin 🙂 It has a unique feeling extremely close to my personatily that makes me feel elegant, sophisticated and at the same time fresh, playful and adventurous.. yeap that’s me 🙂
It’s not a complitated perfume yet it manages to capture the attention of people around you, because it feels so tasteful and refined. The first time I decided to wear Chypre Fruite was when my hubby picked it up for me to one of our night out. I couldn’t believe it when a woman reached me to ask what was my perfume 🙂
I love love love it!!

Noble fruit. Shining light of the old castle gardens. Trees covered with MOSS. Bubble tea cocktail. Beautiful scene of the beautiful afternoon. Chypre fruit for adults.
Cheers to the beauty of Montale.

An understated beauty from Montale! It’s a nice smokey wood with a touch of fruit; it’s floral with a bit of musk and a hint of citrus. None of those disastrously sweet chemical fruit or plastic cool-aid stuff. Very well-blended, fizzy fruit scent, yet it’s grown up and expensive-smelling. Well done!

I like the way this perfume sits on me. It is not a scent that dictates your mood, but rather conforms to it. While more at home in the spring than any other season, it has an “I’m up for anything, anytime” kind of feel to it, without being dull or indecisive. I normally loathe fruity perfumes, but to me this has nothing in common with the sticky sweet fruity scents of the department store aisles. “Well-balanced” is the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of its composition. Dry yet still somehow fresh, its fruitiness is nicely offset by floral and moss notes and grounded with patchouli and bergamot. This is my first chypre, and I can’t wait to explore more of the genre.

Generic, here is the word that springs to mind. I can not find anything particularly interesting in this scent, even tropical fruits are just a distant memory after 1-2 hours. It ‘s all faded away from the standards of Montale.

Now we are talking, Montale.
Finally, after two serious fiascos with this company (Ginger Musk and Fruits of the Musk), I tried Chypre Fruite.
This is a delight, like a light cocktail of tropical fruits mixed with roses and jasmine.
Is a very feminine scent, yet one that I love to smell. If the floral was not so obvious, this would be a great unexpected fragrance for men, but as in many fragrances, the jasmine is hard to tame and it takes over the whole composition.
The opening is delicious, a real treasure.

A banquet of exotic fruits awaits, black currant hints of papaya and banana peel tip toe around strong, semi-smooth florals. Dominant jasmine takes the lead with support from gentle pink rose and dry green moss. Fruits struggle to take leading role heading into the the dry mossy finish but it’s hardly enough to call this ‘fruite’ given the not so tropical fruits are a bit dry, lackluster and boring. Maybe my sample is old…I was looking forward to a big, bold tropical fruit opening with a traditional chypre drydown. And this is a half hearted effort at best. Montale is very hit or miss especially any scents outside their typical oud/wood/rose combos. Projection sillage and longevity are all worthy of the montale name.
Score 5/10

I definitely get the chypre base. Black currant, pine, similar to Enchanted Forest without the minty element. A bit pungent and masculine for me.

Funny, but this very far from being a chypre. As we all know, everything is about the skin chemistry, that is what I keep telling myself after reading so many reviews saying that this is an adult fruity chypre. On me it is not.
Let me tell you what do I get out of this. The first blast with bowl of sweet tropical fruits, it resembles some kind of drugstore shampoo at the opening as the fruits are kinda soapy-sweet. I do not get any “chypre” notes. What else do I get – I get jasmine, loads of it which simply sweetens the deal and makes this climb more away from something I could enjoy. As for oakmoss which seems to be pretty noticeable for everyone else – I get none. The same with patchouli and rose. Nothing.
A big bowl of tropical “shampoo fruits” with loads of jasmine tossed inside. Floral fruity. And not the best kind.

Hello,
I do not know about the CK Chock, but this Montale is extremely beautifull, very chic like I was told about, fresh, yammy, a bit sweet (not too much), hmm modern Chypre I would say, if You have been a bit wondering those old classical perfumes to be too much and still want to get to know on Chypre notes, this might be good where to start. I love all those old schoolish gems, this is modern. Wondering when weather dries very much here at hard winter time, this might be very “white” kinda scent, perfect for white snowy days.. I almost guess tropical notes are not dominent those days but chypre yess, maby at warm weather tropical notes comes out better. This is very interesting and definitely is something I want to have.

I don’t see any resemblance between this and CK Shock whatsoever.
While Chypre-Fruite is definitely fruity, I would not consider it to be tropical, and definitely no berries. The non-specific “fruits” are the star of the perfume. If there is any moss to be found, well, I haven’t found it. I was hoping for more of a classic chypre accord, something I thought Montale might do well, but if the word “chypre” wasn’t in the name of the perfume, I would not consider this to be a chypre at all.
Even when a perfume doesn’t live up to my expectations, I could still love it for what it is. Sadly, this perfume gets no love. It’s too light, too bland, something on par with Britney Spears’ or J-Lo. I believe this is my first Montale ‘dislike’.

Yesterday i have tried at least 7 fragrances by Montale an this one the only one i really loved. It is a sweet-fizzy chypre, but not over-the top sweet like “Yvresse”, no. Very delicate and later i figured out that it resembles CK “One shock for her” very very much!!! There is a bit of citrus, light flowers, watery notes and just a drop of chypre note. Perfect! I do enjoy it the second day in the row, since the staying power on my blouse is amazing! Every time i smell it i keep on wondering, what smell so good around here? Oh yes, it´s me! 🙂

I received my sample from luckyscent and my daughter commented that it smells like a rum drink in Montego Bay. lol Its seductive and its unisex. Its not too sweet. Its nice. I believe I will get this one nd Blue Amber too.

The name matches this scent perfectly.
This is a genuine chypre fruity!
Top notes reminded me a bit of Miss Dior Cherie. The other parts remind me of Sublime Balkiss.
But this one has a more ‘adult’ attitude: it’s not that sweet and has a special – cold, crystal-clear – quality.
A transparent, mature fruity scent.
Very feminine.
I don’t get any separate fruit notes, just a light moist accord.
And a suave garden rose.
Pretty! But not my cup of tea 🙂

Almost a dry, adult fruit scent. A good antidote to the fruity sweet department store types out there.

I got a sample from Lucky Scent and have tried it 3 or 4 times now. On me this is very soft and gentle but has no WOW factor. It lasts 3 or 4 hours on me. It is pretty but I would not invest in a bottle of it for myself. I’m really glad that I have samples because it is an inexpensive way to choose perfumes that are really good on you over perfumes that are nice but not for you.

at night in the open air a smoky note comes out…..
longlasting and sits close to the skin…
but for me – not the one to buy…
