Gris Montaigne

گریس از لاین پرایو دیور نام این عطر طبق توضیحات خود دیور اشاره داره به بوتیک مادر و تاریخی این برند در خیابان مونتنیه پاریس ، فضای لوکس و مدرن بوتیک با دکوراسیون منحصر بفرد خودش و رنگ های روشن و سرد و بی روح که در طراحی آن به کار رفته به همراه رز ترکیه ای که با هنرمندی تمام در گریس و مواردی دیگری از این لاین حضور داره ، به نظر من رز به شکل‌ زیبایی که در عطرای این لاین دیور به کار رفته می تونست به امضایی اختصاصی در پرایو لاین تبدیل بشه که البته در حال حاضر هم نت اصلی بسیاری از عطرای این لاین هست از همان ابتدا که گریس رو اسپری می کنم برام واضحه که با یک عطر لوکس طرف هستم ، واقعیت توقع یه سایه روشن از روایح اینسنسی اسموکی خاکستری و سرد رو داشتم اما یه شروع سیتروسی و مرکباتی ترش در کنار پچولی تند و تیز و خاکی کاملا شگفت زده ام کرد ، وای از این رز وای از این رز ، چقدر لطیف و نرم ، اروتیک و دوست داشتنی می تونه باشه نت رز وقتی دستان هنرمند فرانسوا دماشی با یک تفکر مینیمالیستی و فارغ از هر گونه زیاده کاری خالقش باشه ، فضای پودری و‌ لوازم آرایشی و چوبی مخملی و همچنین حضور یاس بسیار دل انگیزه ، بیشتر از اینکه حس رنگ خاکستری رو القا بکنه برام حس پر لطافتی از ابریشم رو داره ، تا همین جای کار به اطمینان می تونم بگم گریس باید در کلکسیون هر خانم خوش پوش و زیبایی وجود داشته باشه ، از شیرینی امبری خیلی ملایم این عطر هم نباید غافل بشیم که تبدیلش می کنه به یک عطر مختص شب های خنک با پوششی مدرن و خاص ، اگرچه به نظر می رسه گریس در گروه شیپغ دسته بندی شده به خصوص که فضای خزه ای و تمیز عطر بر این موضوع صحه می گذاره ولی این اطمینان رو می دم که از اون فضای کلاسیک شیپغ به کلی فاصله می گیره و تنها المان هایی از شیپغ کلاسیک رو در دنیایی کاملا مدرن اجرا می کنه ، حالا که از عمرش می گذره فضا خاکستری تر می شه و پچولی خاکی و بالزامیکی دوباره نبض عطر رو بدست می گیره ، خاکستری از این جهت که در این مرحله عطر به مشام من یه حالت پلاستیکی و فضایی مصنوعی از چرم و چوب و لاستیک داره که بیشتر از قبل تداعی کننده رنگ خاکستری هست ، در واقع دیور مدعی هست که رایحه ی بوتیکش رو بازسازی کرده که با بوییدن عطر در مرحله میانی و بیس بر روی پوست تا حدودی این امر قابل درک هست ، عطر حس جالبی از بوتیکی پر از کیف و کفش و لباس نو رو داره ، حداقل برای من که یکی از تفریحاتم گشت زدن در بوتیک انواع برند ها هست اینطور بود ، در بیس عطر ابعاد مردانه ای هم پیدا می کنه که می شه گفت تا حدودی گریس یونیسکس هست و تا به الان برای من بازخوردای خوبی به همراه داشته ، بایستی این آمادگی رو بدم که همونقدر که در ابتدا تست این کار هیجان زده تون می کنه(اتفاقی که برای من افتاد) درای داون و انتهای کار ممکنه کمی مأیوس کننده باشه ، از اون کیفیت خیره کننده و رز بی نظیر ابتدای کار خبری نیست و عطر یه فضای شیرین و پودری تکرای پیدا می کنه که مجبورم می کنه از اون موضع اولیه ام عقب نشینی کنم و باعث می شه نتونم به جمع بندی مناسب و نظره قاطعی در خصوص گریس برسم البته هنوز هم معتقدم کمتر عطری با محوریت پچولی و رز تونسته چنین فضای لوکس و مدرنی رو خلق بکنه ، پخش متوسط و ماندگاری نسبتا خوب با توجه به اینکه اگر گرمای روزای تابستونی رو فاکتور بگیریم عطر چهارفصل محسوب می شه ، با توجه به قیمت بالا و دسترسی مشکل به لاین پرایو دیور امتیاز 6/5 7 از 10

I bought the Gris Montaigne perfume nearly 5 years ago for my ex boyfriend. He absolutely loved it, he actually had been talking about it for forever so I thought I would check it out and buy it for his birthday. At this time in my life I had no experience with fragrances and I did not value fragrance nor did I want to spend my money on it. But when I went to the store and smelled it, it was quite unique and "rare". It smelled very earthy and it was quite pleasant. I even got a miniature so I kept the miniature for myself. Fast forward to 2020: Since this year I started buying perfumes on a huge scale, trying to build a collection and wanting to try new things out. I noticed that I didn't have the full size bottle of this fragrance, I only had the miniature. So I thought I would go buy the Maison Dior counter to try new fragrances to see if I would find something better than the Gris Montaigne, or else I would buy the Gris Montaigne. I arrived there and started smelling a few of the private collection, until I came across the "Gris Dior". Then I asked the lady who was working here if they had changed the name and she said yes. I told her I bought the Gris Montaigne for my ex boyfriend 5 years ago and I told her I wanted one for myself. Then she said that the 125ml costs nearly 200 euros and I was surprised. I had paid 260 euros for the 125ml if I remember right. So then I got suspicious and sprayed the Gris Dior to try it out. AND GUESS WHAT: they reformulated it! i was devastated. I even asked the lady that worked there and she said that they had only changed the name. I told her that's not possible, because I remember the scent very well and it was not like this one. But she denied it. The Gris Dior has a very toned down scent. The oak moss is much less obnoxious than it used to be. It smells more "normal/neutralized" now. I came home and looked for the miniature I had to smell it again: I smelled it again for the first time in 5 years.. I LOVED IT! It is such a beautiful oak mossy scent. Phenomenal. So this new Gris Dior is Very upsetting. I am very upset and very disappointed. Of course I didn't end up buying the Gris Dior. I even told myself I won't ever come by their counter anymore. Thats how upset I am. So guys, if you still own the Gris Montaigne: consider yourself very lucky.

The liquid is perfectly created; if scents could be painted in colours, a grayish muted purple tone is exactly what it would look like. Gris Montaigne is a work of art in the most abstract sense of the word. It doesn’t really smell like anything in particular- unique, transcendent and beautiful in its own way. Ever so gloomy and cold, dark and mysterious, yet so full of life in the best possible way. It depicts an imagery of a chic and classy woman sitting in a clean and modern, isolated café surrounded by nature, looking out the window at the heavily pouring rain drenching the trees, windows, and all that it touches. Everything feels muted, except for the woman wearing the one pop of colour among the gray surroundings and sounds of the roaring yet calming rain. The gloominess in a longing reminiscence, tranquility that settles the mind and body, and a small flicker of light that feels almost hypnotizingly alluring, she takes it all in, soaked in the moment and the wave of emotions that overwhelm her. The atmosphere of dazing out into a rainy day and listening to the sounds, she has an epiphany of feeling a mellow gloominess that in a peculiar way, makes her feel alive. That, is Gris Montaigne. I was slightly thrown off by the top the first time I smelled it because it had a distinctly familiar mosquito spray vibe. However, I’ve quickly come to love that about it too. It has a strong piercing oakmoss top that you don’t see too often in perfumes nowadays- it tends to be very diluted. The reformulated Gris Dior version is missing that element; a watered-down version of this. It’s quite disappointing, although I still like the scent so I would most likely get a full bottle, but I’m holding on to my Gris Montaigne for dear life. A lot of oakmoss, supported by patchouli, light and airy floral elements with almost a slightly candied touch. Very light and clean in the most mellow yet lively, sophisticated way possible. This is definitely an elegantly unique masterpiece.

Gris Montaigne... I wish I had the talents of a poet to depict the beauty of this perfume... This is marvelously and unequivocally perfect! It’s everything I love in a perfume. I love it so much for what it evokes and for how it makes me feel. I love how Gris Montaigne transports me but also how it brings me absolute joy. This perfume is so evocative of a time long lost when women wore gloves and men wore hats...a time when things were simply glamorous and yet innocent. I mourn its discontinuation and though its reformulated counterpart Gris Dior is fabulous to be sure, Gris Montaigne has that added depth, that added warmth and glow...it lasts longer too and it has reached legendary status. Sometimes, there are perfumes that have to disappear in order to reach that status...it’s so sad, really 😞 If only Dior would bring it back..could it be done? Would they listen? Likely no because Gris Dior was released instead but one can hope, right? Longevity: it’s decent on my skin, 6 hours approximately Sillage/Projection: moderate Price: yeah...smh...and I don’t know what I’ll do when I run out...😳🥺🥺 I am beyond grateful and glad to have it in my collection. It’s several backup bottles worthy in my humble opinion but that’s not something I can afford, though it is absolutely worth the quest!! 13 out of 10 for me!! That rating of mine is rare and rightfully so!!

This is in my top ten. Very dry, elegant and always wearable in any season and at any time, at least for me. Sometimes I perceive it as dry, austere, only a hint of sweetness - like the colour I chose for our sitting room wall,grey but with underlying pink tones for warmth. I would say perfectly unisex. For me, sometimes its the citrus, sometimes the woods, oakmoss that takes promience, but at all times the fragrance is cohesive and refined. I am better at describing a feeling that a fragrance evokes, or a time or place that I visualise (or actually) wear it. Therefore the rose and the amber - notes that I find I am not normally drawn to and,in the case of rose, can be so variable in interpretation - are not at the forefront for me. Having said this, those notes must be what makes the fragrance feel greater than the sum of its parts. For me, this translates to an etherial mysterious scent with an underlying bonfire note that could be a november firework party or a bbq on a beach at sunset. Or, even this..."And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer; and he was given much incense to mingle with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar before the throne; and the smoke of the incense rose with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel before God. (Revelation 8:3-4)". And I'm not normally very spiritual!!

Testing from a decant, I'm very pleasantly surprised by this fragrance. First let me say that 'gris' is indeed what it is, I see a lovely deep grey silk or velvet fabric when I sniff this and that is strange for a chypre and it is most definitely a chypre. Usually I see green for a chypre but this is indeed an elegant grey. It is one of those scents that I am aware of as the day goes on, it floats about me and 'meets' me when I don't expect it to. If I put my nose to my skin it doesn't seem to be there, but then suddenly when I'm thinking of something else it appears. Rather like a dance partner that steps away for a moment then returns in a warm embrace. Truly a very elegant and lovely fragrance, perfect for office or evening. I can't imagine anyone being offended by it, and while being very ladylike there is also an element of mystery to it. Definitely fbw for me.

Bought an imitation oil version of this. Wasted my ten bucks. Smells like nothing but vegetable oil. UPDATE: I rolled this oil over my paper flower and threw it in my cupboard. Everytime I opened and closed the cupboard, some lovely transparent delicate ambery woody floral scent emanated from it.... wow.... it makes me smile everytime I open the cupboard and smell the paper flower.. it is quite complex, I get a lot of different sensations from this one. Perhaps I had an anosmia inducing cold when I first tried it. It is actually beautiful, and very subtle and refined and calm and something else very ethereal! I was trying to recollect which scent it reminds me of that I owned. I got it, its Gucci Rush, if Rush is a thick coral red, this one is a transparent peach.

This is beautiful. I could write an anthology of odes and sonnets dedicated to Gris Montaigne. It is sophistication, complexity, elegance, and down-to-earth glamour in a bottle. It is a mossy patio surrounded by a garden that was once well-manicured, but has been left to twine and tangle; the fruit-bearing trees are fraught, and the roses abundant. At the same time, it is city lights gleaming against wet cobblestone. It is earthy, elegant, intoxicating, and unique. I scored a large decant for a fantastic price; it is my most prized fragrance. It is such a shame this was discontinued. It is one of the few Dior scents I'd say is worth the price. I'll smugly hold onto this for special occasions.

I am totally enthralled by Gris Montaigne - on my skin, the warm ambery patchouli woody facets shine more with just the right amount of floral. I would say its perfectly unisex. As with the colour of the juice and the genesis behind this scent, Gris Montaigne is perfect when the sky is gloomy with leaves rustling and when one is in a contemplative mood either taking a stroll down a quiet street or simply staring out a window. It works as wonderfully in a social event which befits a distinguished aura. Always feel relaxed, calm and composed when I have it on.

bergamot is easily gone then, patchouli, rose and amber take part instantly make it earthy floral vibe. oakmoss and sandalwood also there but in smooth and tiny vibe. dominant notes are patchouli, rose and amber. overall, it smooth earthy floral. i don't know why this perfume is marketed for women. it's earthy floral. it's suppose to be unisex. earthy vibe is so dominant. guy, don't worry about the scent,it is very safe fragrance. it is unoffensive at all, easy to wear and suitable for daily perfume.

Such a masterpiece "I don't use that word a lot", this one oozes class and sophistication like no other, I do imagine a very refined and high-class lady wearing a Dior grey suit, Chanel large hat, and very long pearl necklace. and putting on an extra refined Rosey/champagne perfume that is delicate but very present "Performance is amazing". I definitely find this unisex though, heard that Gris Dior leans more masculine than Gris Montaigne, doesn't matter I will be wearing this one and smell amazing.

I just blind bought a partially used 125ml bottle (about 100ml left) and my hopes were high. I am not the biggest fan of Gris Dior as it’s too mossy to my nose and could benefit from a little bit of sweetness, so upon reading the reviews here I thought that maybe this is the version of Gris Dior I am after? Upon initial spray the resemblance to Gris Dior is uncanny, but the dry down is so much softer, fluffier and much much more floral! It’s an absolute gem and I am happy I took this gamble!

Beautiful beautiful beautiful scent. The moment I smelled this, I was in love. Not a super strong scent, but "gris" is a fitting name. Somehow smells gray, cloudy, classy, pearls, and expensive and luxurious but not glittery or sparkly. It smells expensive in the way velvet and cashmere may be. This is wine, not champagne; pearls and silver, not gold and glittery jewels. Too bad it is super expensive... perhaps i will get it when i feel rich enough to drop 400 a pop for an EDT.

To me it smells like me skating in a fur-lined plasticky rubbery snow gear on an icy snowy ocean with a blue whale underneath smelling strongly of amber. Beast defeatedly watching the snow from the window of his royal palace, lined with tall trees, all trapped in the company of a single (dead) rose in a glass flask. Strangest of my collection and lasting forever type scent. Tranquil and elegant scent and I do get good whiffs of strawberry in the top. I like it anyway.

It is a masterpiece of blending. This scent is so well balanced I can't even tell what components it has been made of. As if a cloud of warmth, elegance, mystery and enchantment is surrounding you. Never loud, always noticeable. Promising and fugitive at once. It is a chypre of delicate pianissimo, wind, fog, snow. Very much old school and modern at the same time. Neither your usual sweet fruitchouly, nor citrusy fresh. Quiet, melancholic, dreamy. Give it a try!

Effortlessly elegant! Unisex with great longivety and projection. And this is nothing like Moonlight Patchouli og Bottega Veneta (both which I also adore and have). GM is like Gris Dior but with more prominent flower/frutty note. So yes,ther is a slight difference between these two ( I own full bottles of each) but you don't need them both. And I do not se resemblance to midnight poison either (which I also own and cherish).

Pretty, soft, mild scent. Mostly clean patchouli and rose in muted tones and what smells like iris, giving me the impression of the most subtle leather. A mossy note gives it a hint of duskiness and makes it slightly bitter. Not overly sweet and maintains an airiness and sheerness throughout its wear. If it were a color, I imagine it to be a muted dusky mauve. Smells more fem to me but woukd love to smell this on a guy.

This formulation is much more feminine than the current Gris Dior. I love GD but find it to be a more earthy, gender neutral fragrance where the moss and patchouli are more dominant. GM is just a tad more feminine blend with the rose and additional fruits in the fore front. This could easily be a signature scent. I love this but it is still very similar to GD. No need to seek out a bottle unless you're a collector.

A perfect combination of slightly citrusy and salty masculine notes added to a bouquet of warm, sweet roses. It is very clean-fresh-floral yet full bodied. I have yet to see the Amalfi Coast but I imagine this to be the fragrance I would wear on one of their terrace restaurants! As a huge lover of rose I cannot get enough of this! (I only wish they would make a travel size so you can take on trips!)

It is impossible not loving it. Very professional scent suitable for any occasion and wearable for many kind of people. An all-purpose winner that keeps at a prudent distance the whole day. It may lack a bit of originality but it is impressive the cleanliness and honesty it is conceived with. I do not come to mind better blind purchase fragrance than this one. 8/10
