Montana Homme

Spijt dat ik een paar jaar geleden toen deze hier in de opruiming ging niet meer van heb gekocht. De geur gaat niet lang mee, waarschijnlijk doordat het de laatste batch is maar, wat een heel fijne Eau de Toilette is deze release uit 2001, het ruikt voor mij in de citruscomponenten en de aardsheid in combinatie met Iris naar een lichtere, minder dichte Bvlgari Man Terrae Essence. De geur is een dikke like voor mij, het fles-ontwerp is fantastisch, de dop is helaas hoerig plastic, ik zou dit een slag groter willen zien en helemaal uitgevoerd in glas. nu is het jagen op een voorraadflesje ... en o ja niet voor jongens die naar iedereen ruiken. - I regret not buying more when this went on sale here a few years ago. The scent doesn't last long, probably because it's the last batch, but what a wonderful Eau de Toilette this 2001 release is! The citrus notes and earthiness, combined with iris, make it smell like a lighter, less dense Bvlgari Man Terrae Essence. I love the scent, and the bottle design is fantastic. Unfortunately, the cap is cheesy plastic. I'd like to see this one a bit bigger and made entirely of glass. Now I'm hunting for a stock bottle... and oh yeah, not for guys who smell like everyone.

YES! Finally! I have been looking all Summer for a clean, linear citrus that i can call my own. You would think it would be simpler, but alot of the newer ones ive been trying seem desperate to show they have more than just the citrus thing going on. "I'm amber too! I'm green! I'm woodsy!" This is not what i am looking for. Montana Homme fits the bill for me, and has the advantage of being less commonly found so i can use it knowing no other guys around are rocking it. While I'm sure some of you can think of a more accurate interpretation of linear citrus (suggestions welcomed,) the top 3 notes for me out of the gate are white grapefruit, bitter orange, and lemon. The miracle is that while the notes are bright, they are not acrid or sharp in any way. My only complaint is that its longevity is seriously lacking. Multiple sprays and its almost gone in an hour. Seems like they knew that because the sprayer delivers a massive amount with one spray. Ends up working out. --Blue box with bottle shaped cutout center, smoked grey glass with matching plastic cap in 'Tower of Babel' shape, made in france, parfums Claude Montana, batch code 31111

I own and love Montana Homme Parfum and was intrigued by this lesser-known offering from this house. First thing to know is that although the bottle is identical, Homme has nothing at all to do with Parfum. Whereas the original is aldehydic, leathery, pine, and floral, this one is primarily bitter orange, pepper and cedar. The orange in this case across quite distinctly from most other times I've experienced it in a fragrance: it is dry, almost chalky rather than juicy, similar to the smell of a powered orange drink before adding water. I believe this effect is achieved with the cedar and pepper accord that sits just under the orange/citric notes. I get some bitterness added by artemisia. Do not allow your mind to reflexively wander to comparisons with TDH based on the woody/orange description- it's more cheerful, lighter, and less serious, ideal for cool to warm weather. This is a unique scent that I am glad to add to my collection.

Marvellous perfume. Funnily enough I got it by mistake. I was sent the wrong perfume. It does not smell masculine at all, it does smell rather feminine. It is in fact a floral perfume. The lemon scent is only in the opening and what remains as that sort of citric perfume is not lemon but geranium, whose smell is very similar to lemon, but without the acidity, in fact it is floral lemon. This perfume is nevertheless sweeter and fresher than geranium on its own, and the herbs are slightly noticeable, but by far the dominant note here, after the lemony opening, is geranium. It is all about this flower. The perfume was even nicer when I was wearing it than smelled directly from my skin. Wearing it sent me sky high. And I do not usually like masculine perfumes. But this one is amazing. Sillage and longevity are also very good.

Cresp did something really interesting here On my skin, something about the interplay of the bitter orange, bergamot, artemisia, and the woody notes beneath them, slowly pushed into the opening by the bloomy musk, gives the initial and distinct smell of mesquite or maybe hickory. The woody notes hiding in the odor of certain smoked meats. It's really interesting and I haven't smelled anything like it. As it dries down, there are hints of a bluish, more modern fragrance wafting in the mellow muskiness that climbs the lattice of the chypre planted in its center. I've seen comparisons to other things but, to me, this is very unique. Quite sad this has been discontinued. One of the best examples of a classic men's chypre pushed through a mesh of contemporary revision I've ever smelled.
