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.

Love this one. A little bit simple and too lemony at first, but this is all about the dry down for me. Dries down to a wonderful, clean, slightly soapy, slightly floral (geranium?) smell. Fresh and beautiful rather than overtly masculine - just enough herbs late on to keep it gently masculine. Definitely a spring/summer fragrance. Subtle but nicely balanced - quietly complex compared to a lot of citrus fragrances. Projects softly after the strong lemon top notes. Longevity is good - 8+ hours on me. Fresh, subtle and lovely.

Montana is true classic, chic and prestigious. This is not available in my country now, long time ago it was, the clothing and perfumes found in most stores, now gone. Despite the bottle design which resemble the tower of babel, the content is serious. I'm getting the black edition and homme, I cannot wait. I hope it's just as good as the late parfum d'homme, packaged in red box and green bottle.

very nice blended classic edt. with a wonderful bergamote-pepper opening than a spicy-iris heart and completly different warm and embracing musk-sandalwood drydown... i can really notice 3 classic phases!!! it can be either a daytime or a nighttime fragrance because it transforms... ok...maybe not groundbreaking milestone... maybe a "light" projection but a very decent staying-power!!!

Superior once again, this is a noble scent. I can't believe when I first received, there is no other scent like it, true as it described the lemony notes but never expected this good. I must say, montana though long gone and I guess teens nowdays are not familiar with the brand as I am back in 90's and reunite the brand once again here in my closet. Montana deserve 10/10

That's exactly why I prefer this one. I love the citrus notes and the longevity. I can spritz in the morning, spend the day in the heat outdoors and never smell the slightest bit musky. It's always fresh and clean and yet smells totally unlike the others in the popular citrus category.

I have this and the Parfum- Homme just arrived, today- very refreshing and Glad to have in my collection- I did not smell the Iris at first but now- yummmm... I think I may like this even better than the Parfum... Too bad Montana does not make these anymore..

Excellent fragrance Very citric and refreshing . It smells refined and It is totally unique when compared to other citrus fragrances . and most importantly it lasts !!!! Lovely lovely fragrance .A definate favourite in my wardrobe

It is a happiness and well-being potion for men. Smells classic, clean, elegant while complex at the same time. Nothing compares to it. It can be worn for any occasion and at any age : a real magic.

Smells much like Quorum - but a version leaning towards warm/hot weather because of the ramped up lemon. Performance (sillage especially) is very good for several hours. Highly recommended!

CITRIC & SPICY, A BEAUTIFUL COMBINATION. LAST LONG ON MY SKIN. I LIKE IT!

its master piece in world of perfumes

That’s the fourth Montana I purchase and all have been blind buys so far. While the Parfum d’homme (red box) and Carbone left me a good impression, black edition and this one feel more awkward. One thing I must stress for potential buyers: I first tried to get it from an internet site but I received the red box instead. But the picture and the notes listed were definitely for the blue box. So watch out. After a second try I finally received Montana Homme. Though I find it surprisingly not so common, I don’t like it a lot. There’s plenty of orange and lemon for the beginning. But that first blast is very loud and synthetic, and it goes on and on. I patiently wait for the other ingredients to kick in but nothing really happens. I might be able to go through the bottle by layering. I wanted to like it but it feels kind of cheap.

DrNDJas is spot-on, so I'm not going to reinvent the wheel here. I'll just underline (like DrNDJas did in the previous comment) that while Montana Parfum d'Homme (red box) is a fantastic masterpiece-level masculine fragrance, here Montana Homme (blue box) is indeed a cheerful and unpretentious Spring/Summer fragrance. Not essential, but very pleasant. Given its price, I have no regrets on my blind buy, that despite being a simple scent, is pretty unique.

Montana Homme is the second(or third if we count the "Parfum d'homme light"edition)install in this towering bottle,but there is little resemblance with the past.This frag is a fresh-flowery-powdery one,a bit elegant,a bit sporty,not so unique,but as usual well made by the great Montana house and the performances are great,also a mark of their name!

I wasn't expecting too much from this. Felt it might be overhyped. But I must say, after a slightly brash cheapish initial opening, it very quickly settles down to something rather delightful. I get a lovely mix of ciruses and florals. Soapy as well. It has depth and for the price I'm enjoying it immensely. Not your usual fare at all.

What I’ll say that hasn’t already been said is this: I put three drops on my wrist Tuesday morning, it is now Wednesday night and I can still smell it a bit when I bring my wrist to my nose... the longevity is wild.

Montana Homme, Olivier Cresp, 2001... just like Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue.

With Montana Homme, we may have some confusion, as its bottle is just a few shades lighter than Parfum d'Homme, but what we have here is quite a different direction, and its quite dashing I must say. A radiant citrus opening with a few sprigs of mugwort to bitter it up like an aperitif, but then it gets powdery and feels like Tang if it were made with much more natural citrus flavor. I used to eat Tang powder right out of the jar when I was a kid. It explains a lot. Anyhow, its like the most beautiful Tang powder mixed with nutmeg. And not to fear, my worshippers at the altar of Evernia Prunastri, the oakmoss is here in spades, along with a whole lot of woods, cedar, sandalwood, you decide...

This review is for Montana Homme in the RED BOX!I love this scent,I love the bitter citrus note mixed with woody scents.This is a masculine scent,I can't imagine a woman would want to wear a frag with such a bitter citrus scent but never say never;this is a for Fall smell to my senses to be worn before and after a good rugby game! I would not blind buy unless its a mini,just to get to know the fragrance.I love the bottle design , also the Montana Homme in the BLUE box is a completely different scent that is sweeter and soapier,but on dry down on MY skin goes pungent and unpleasant as far as I'm concerned!

Great scent for warm weather. If you already have Cerruti 1881 for men, you will not get much from Montana for men. The differente will be in the opening, when Montana is more citric than Cerruti. In its middle and base notes Montana has 6 notes (out of 10) in common with the middle and base notes of Cerruti. Thus in the drydown both are similar (not identical, because the pine of Cerruti and the amber of Montana holds a difference till the end). Of both I recommend Cerruti because, in my opinion, its complexity, sillage and longevity are superior to Montana's.

I ordered the red boxed Parfum d'Homme and accidentally got sent this with a blue box. I am not upset with that at all! It has become my most reached for fragrance and I get compliments. It is a creamy, slightly sour bitter orange backed by spices and herbs. Performance is good. You will get noticed wearing this since it's quite different and rare. Just bought the red boxed today and while I haven't fully delved into that one I can say that this, the blue one, has more depth to it.

DrNDJas in his review below nails it pretty good, and the other reviewers have made very valid and observant points as well. I’ll just add that as the fragrance progresses during the wearing it gets more lovely... the powdery “Tang”-like orange note here is part of an interesting & unique opening but is not the dominant note throughout. Recommended 😌

Just bought my second bottle today and that too from a small shop i got the first time round!-clean, fresh, lingering scent. Really cheap for the quality..partly because the younger and impressionable generation don't know about this, so let's keep it that way! ;-)

Too citric for my taste. All I can smell is the top notes. I cannot smell the warmer base notes, even after hours. I prefer the original Montana; it's actually one of my favorites.

I find this one very different to the female version, much more green,less barroque,isnt a bad one,but not memorable either, anyway,not a bad one
