Femme de Montblanc

Ooo how JEALOUS am I of you who are getting "hot chocolate liquor" and the cinnamon notes! I like it, I REALLY do, but I only get florals and musk at the top with maybe some fruit thrown in there and then a nondescript sweet, powdery drydown. I adore warm and spicy but honestly this smells *much* more like spring. I can definitely tell the heliotrope and the raspberry - those I'm certain of. But the gorgeous "dark chocolate", cardamom, heck even PINEAPPLE - I would *much* rather smell those! Ugh so disappointed at what I thought would be the perfect Christmas scent coming across only as a beautiful spring day on my skin. Where oh where are the spices?! :( It smells NOTHING AT ALL like Dior Addict, Lolita or Angel. Angel?! Wow where did that even come from?! This reminds me a bit of those cherry-scented soaps they have in restrooms but there is absolutely nothing that reminds me of Angel lol. It *does* however remind me a bit of Petite Robe Noire and I didn't quite care for that so it may explain why this isn't speaking to me. It saddens my heart to tuck this away for next year because this is just *not* a cold weather scent for me. Still gorgeous and still something I'll love wearing, just in a different season.

About the EdT. This is unique and so beautiful, and not at all popular here, where I live. The opening is fruity fresh, but just after few seconds it becomes a thick, warm, creamy, slightly nutty, gourmand aroma. I smell some notes which are not listed. For example, I feel crushed apricot seeds, cherries in liqueur covered with dark, exquisite chocolate, almonds and their peels. And that's why I think this scent is from the same shelf as Petite robe noire by Guerlain and Lolita Lempicka scents. I didn't buy it because I had red it was quite similar to Angel which I simply can't stand. But I still kept thinking about it. But no, on me it smells nothing like Angel, on me this is wonderful. This is a rich, strong, sweet and elegant very high quality scent. When I spray it on, I think about an early winter morning and about the first snow slowly falling -fresh, creating the impression of something sweet like sugar powder, so unreal, so dreamy. And all this covered with this fragile sensation of celebration of life.

A lovely fragrance i just added to my collection. The cardamom is very strong at first, but later settles nicely. This is a fragrance that is quite complex, unique, VERY different and totally non boring. Go for it, if you want to 'experience' a scent, and not just wear one...the notes develop and flow one after the other mingling beautifully. I love this. Best for: fans of gourmand frags, and definitely for strictly spice / oriental lovers... If you enjoy Si, or L by Lolita Lempicka, or Dior Addict, then i think you should add this to your collection :) Mont Blanc did get it right, especially with such complicated combinations of herbs, fruit and flowers. Longevity - excellent, no need to reapply often as the base lasts - and is the best part of the scent ; sillage - excellent as well, and i have the edt.

This review is for the EDP Femme de Montblanc opens with cinnamon and chocolate. Gets juicy in the middle- bergamot, peach, strawberry, then heliotrope, rose, very slight jasmine. More chocolate, patchouli, musk in the creamy drydown. There's a faint smoky bitterness hidden deep somewhere in the warm, spicy sweetness which adds a nice dimension. It is an unusual fragrance. I love it! Lasts 4- 5 hrs on my skin, longer in cold weather. Moderate sillage. For some reason I got pepper the first time I tried this on. Maybe the cinnamon-cardamom note turned peppery on my skin. (After a few tries I got the cinnamon.) This made me try layering Femme de Montblanc with Bvlgari Jasmin Noir L'Elixir edp, because I love the peppery note- got an interesting scent that worked for me!

I agree with miZZpuRRfect that this is an elegant, yummy gourmand scent. It's a lot softer than I was anticipating from the strong colour of the perfume and is very classy smelling, soft, warm, slightly powdery, a little sweet - really nice! I don't detect at all the masculine sense that several reviewers here have mentioned. On my skin it's feminine, warm and sexy all the way. I'm a lucky girl because I got my bottle in a swap with a lovely fellow Fragrantican and I'd never smelled it before so I'm sooo happy that it's such a nice perfume! I'd recommend it very highly and it definitely gets my approval!! ;o))) UPDATE: I'm officially LOOOOVING this perfume!! Hooray - it's one of my new fave discoveries, along with Gucci Guilty. I love 'em both!! ;o))

R/V of EDT. This is a gem, sophisticated classy scent. Very warm and comforting, makes me feel like a real woman. I love the dry down, enveloping me in a cloud of cosyness. You can sense the scent is there, but is not overpowering. Longevity is all day for me, as I get lovely comments asking what Perfume am I wearing. Another fragrance that not alot of people know about where I live. A bonus for me as I like the individuality of me only wearing it. Definately an oriental, is truly a balmy purple fragrance and the bottle is attractive. Chocolate violets, is what it remids me of, with slithers of pineapple pieces peepimg through. Turkish delights and pretty, petite orange blossoms drifting by. A stunning fragrance to wear. Love it.

One could easily wear this perfume in a crowd and not offend anyone nearby. It's powdery at first, but quickly settles very close into the skin, much less powdery. The cardamom, cinnamon and cocoa, as well as the fruit notes and florals are blended so closely together as to be extremely light, gentle, totally unobtrusive. Overall, it's as if one just stepped out of a shower after using a rich, expertly blended, clean smelling, creamy, but very lightly scented soap. The perfume is not "soapy" at all. It smells fresh, tender, expensive in its understatement. It lasts a good 8 hours or more, quietly behaving like a well refined, well mannered aristocrat. It's great to wear any time. Simply beautiful.

La usé hace unos años, era aún estudiante de pregrado. Compra a ciegas, me llamó la atención el color del perfume, en esa época yo no sabía nada de perfumería , solo que montblanc estaba de moda. Desde el primer momento amor a primera olida. Una nota de salida de chocolate bien camuflada, rica, atipica. De esos olores embriagantes que te puedes poner mucho pero no desagrada. En retrospectiva, más que un perfume de jefa, un perfume de líder, puocra, bien cuidada, nl frita pero habla firme y se hace sentir. Cuando entra todos lo notan . Un millon de veces lo compraría de nuevo si se consiguiera.

amazing perfume for a dynamic woman who wants to stand out! for me it's the woman version of joop! men. it's a strong perfume but for strange reason i doesn't bother you but you want to sniff it all the time.it's addictive!.... ..... it's like when you drink a good wine and you start to feel dizzy but nice and you want to carry on drinking because you feel great and you smile all the time... that's femme de montblanc! thumbs up for montblanc and whoever created this amazing perfume!!!! bravo...

I love it. If you are atrracted to Kenzo, Jungle Elephant and you find it hard to wear but you still try, I advise buying a sample of Femme... and trying it. The fragrance is something between Elephant and Tiger, but all in all it's unique and it isn't a copy of them. I can smell cardamom and chocolate the most and it's a great combination. The fragrance is good to wear day and night, during all seasons. It's a calm and strong fragrance.

This is an amazing cold weather perfume. I suppose it smells chocolatey, but to me it smells like fabric softener and clean laundry which is a serious comfort smell for me. I like to wear this one to work because I think it makes me seem serious and responsible, but also it smells so wonderfully comforting. My boyfriend says it smells like an ABC store in Hawaii?? Not sure what that means but apparently he doesn't love it like I do.

I felt in love with this one when one of my professors (woman) entered the room. SHe smelled so nice. If I was a guy I would ask her out. Or if I was a lesbian. I am none of these, so only thing I did is to ask what a perfume she wears. I have it in my collection. It smells a bit like Bvlgari Notte... At least this link I got in my nose after using both. Rich and sexy. Oh, yes my professor was sexy as well he he

Just got this for my wife and what can I say, she smells like a sexy root beer float! Mont Blanc is quickly becoming one of my favorite houses as they rarely set a foot wrong. Most of their fragrances are either very good or great in my opinion; especially when you factor in bang for the buck. Femme de Montblanc certainly fits that description as well. Yet another winner from Mont Blanc. Score: 8/10

LOVE this one. At the very beginning it's very fruity, dark and juicy. The dry down is gorgeous, smells clean, yet sexy and interesting. Chocolately and rich, but with a freshness that's hard to describe. It's unlike any else I own, and I definitely crave it. Unfortunately, I find the sillage and longevity to be quite weak, but I don't mind refreshing this one. Highly recommended!

this one is a very gourmand scent, so delicious but not to 'headache sweet'! no kenzo jungle elephant similarity at all, maybe one ore two notes are similar but no the compositon. elephant isn t a gourmand scent over all and i hate it. this one i love. i would compare it to wish from chopard but more elegant and mature.

Elegant yet sensual. Luxurious yet soothing. Intimate yet warm. Feminine yet lively. Love this one! Love the bottle! Love the perfume! But is that surprising?? Its France's Mont Blanc after all !!! Update: more than 6 hours and still there. Inspite of the high humidity. Highly recommend this one !!!

É uma fragrância muito especial, oriental e refinada. É um aroma diferente, não é um perfume que todos identifiquem, aconselho a experimentar antes de comprar. Eu especialmente gostei muito de usar e possivelmente vou voltar a comprar. É ideal para o tempo mais frio. Deveria ter maior fixação.

Just received it today and it smells heavenly! It was a blind buy based on reviews, I hoped I would like it. It's a warm scent a bit masculine (somehow reminds me a liitle of Boss Bottled) and sweet also. I think it's better for colder summer/spring evenings and winter/fall. Very sexy scent!

At first smell, its delightful cinnamon-vetiver-patchouli-chocolate fragrance :D After a while, appears crispy notes of peach-litchi-jasmine....... The drydown its a caramelized amber :) so cute! and funny sexy in my opinion :D Its very charming and feminine! I like it a lotttttttt :D

I like it a lot! It's a perfect winter fragrance in my opinion. To me it smells like hot chocolate liquor. Yummy! It's a very rich and warm scent, perfet for wearing it when your hidding under the blanket and it's freezing outside. It's on my must buy in near future list.
