What does Montaigne (2021) smell like?
Montaigne has good longevity and good sillage. Most voters pick it for fall and spring, and for evenings, nights out and leisure time. It reads clearly feminine, with a classic character for many.
The floral side is built on ylang-ylang, jasmine, mimosa and orange blossom, with heliotrope adding a powdery softness. Labdanum, benzoin and vanilla pull it towards a resinous, sweet warmth, while cassia brings spice and Indian sandalwood a woody depth.
