What does Montaigne (2007) (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and evening and night out lead the occasions. Most see it as feminine and classic.
Jasmine, jonquil and mimosa build a floral frame. Bitter orange and coriander add a fruity, spicy touch, while vanilla and amber soften it into sweetness. Mysore sandalwood gives a woody base, and the powdery, chypre feel of the accords keeps it on a classic line. Caron Montaigne (1986) (Parfum) and Caron Parfum Sacré (Eau de Parfum Intense) have a close profile.
