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.

I bought this two years ago. It smells delicious without being overpowering. The gourmand notes are the most noticeable. I love the cinnamon and cocoa notes in colder weather, not much of the rest is noticeable on me after it dries down

the most beauthiful smell ever i sprayt on my body. Warmt expensive chokolat ohh my good i dont fine the words to describle this best av best fragrance ever good silage long lasting feminine everything what i loking for a frag 10/10

I'm suprised that other users have trouble with staying power, even the EDT stays all day on me. I really like this, it smells like cinnamon, musk, and cocoa on me. I really like it; although it's an odd smell, it's very comforting

I just found out that they discontinued this fragrance! So disappointing! I really loved it in the winter. Chocolatey and spicy, with just enough fruit and floral to ground it a bit and make it unique.

Sexy, romantic and quite elegant! On my skin it smells like a floral-oriental with a hint of incense, even if no incense is listed in notes. Lovely scent, it suits feminine types.

It's a sweet-sour scent of pineapple, spices and a little of dark chocolate, nice and soft. Suitable for all day wearing, elegant and romantic. Not overpowering.

So sweet and creamy!!!! I snif sugar,it is a sugary and vanillary scent!!!! very nice and lovely scent!!!! I feel joy and happiness wearing it

Oh my God, it's so chic perfume,I almost don't feel it, what means that this is mine! Very mysterious, not too sweet, great for evening!

anyone else smells Marzipan in this?? all I get is a delicious naturally smelling marcipan. awesome.

Soooo delicious!! Perfect cinnamon! Great in the winter, sexy, very very good!!

Soooo delicious!! Perfect cinnamon! Great in the winter, sexy, very very good!!

Every woman should smell like this. Very sexy and romantic.

I've just tried it once on paper and once on my skin.on paper,it reminded me halloween for man,but a less sweet and cold version of it but on my skin it's really nice.as SA sprayed it I could detect spicy fruits.I don't like cardamom but I love cinnamon.strangely I could detect lots of ginger and pepper blended with juicy pine apple and fruity mixture.I didn't buy it because I was hoping to find and try edp version.now that I sniff my wrist,it has changed dramatically.there is soft powdered heliotrope covered with lots of cinnamony chocolate.I know it was not a proper test but I like the drydown so much that I know I'm gonna buy it ASAP and no problem that it's edt,because it's really nice as it is.all in all it's a unique scent.it's a combination of floralfruitygourmand and oriental spicy.it feels modern and also has a classic,timeless quality.I think that it's a must have in my collection.although it's not as sweet and gourmand as I wished,it's worthy buying.it's safer than what I thought but still has something sexy.I even find it very feminine and still think that it's even wearable by men.I know these paradoxes are strange and don't make sense but it's how I honestly feel I'll write a real review as soon as I buy it

This is an "okay" scent, a little generic, no head-turner; I don't hate, don't love, won't buy again. I have both EDT and EDP. Based on the notes, I was expecting a lot more. The top notes are somewhat sweet, floral-berry with a little gourmand vying with Medicine/camphor quality underneath. There is definitely a fruity-berry quality tempered a bit more than the typical Mall fruitbomb. There is something slightly bitter and rubbery underneath--and a bit sharp. I have tested both Alien and Lady Gaga since this is what it reminded me of--and both are very similar. Alien might be a bit colder, more astringent, LG a little more synthetic definitely floral, but all seem to be in the same genre. Montblanc has a more medicinal quality than either (Bactine?)--and a bit warmer. On a final note, I love the Kenzo line, love almost all their scents, and I have Jungle (the biggest bottle I could get)--and this bears absolutely no resemblance whatsoever to that tropical lush, spicy flowerbomb that is probably not office friendly. How your skin and chemistry reacts is certainly the big variable, but I don't get any kinda of Kenzo in this at all. This IS office friendly...

This is a gorgeous fragrance. If you like spices and fruit and then a comforting soft finish then this is for you. The initial spray I did not like as the opening seems alcoholic and I really dislike that but it dissipated quite quick and WOW! YOU ARE LEFT WITH A BOOZY, ZESTY PINEAPPLE or more precisely the combo of spice and pineapple with the bergamot giving it that rum like kick. After that comes a soft heliotrope with a floral background but the pineapple lingers in the background for hours, getting more and more distant. And for me it ends with a soft sweetness, not powdery. What I can say is that different skin types have different results and for me, most of the complex fragrances just don't work, or I can smell them only for a short amount of time but this one is a nice surprise as it linger for hours, so, if you have a similar issue, try it, maybe it will also make you happy! Update: I came to realize that this fragrance works only during the cold season. At least for me. I tried it during summer and I did not like it. So I recommend trying it during late fall or better winter.

This was a blind buy for me. I love the sweet bergamot opening, it quickly moves to the middle notes and I get a lot of amber. For some reason my chemistry grabs on to the amber notes in all my perfumes that have it. I was kind of hoping this wouldn't do that but it does.... anywho... it lasts about 2 hours on my wrist and I've sprayed it on my décolletage area. I get whiffs of violets even though I know it's not listed, maybe that is part of the patchouli? I still smell the amber. It's heady, yet close to the skin. Not spicy, I wish I smelled the cinnamon. It's a mature fragrance. Update: I wore it on my clothes and it is sickly sweet on there. I'm going to try it again on my skin and see if i enjoy this still. It's a beautiful bottle and I'll keep it just for that. Maybe it'll smell better in colder months... So interesting how the weather can affect perfume on the skin!!

When Kama told me it was a lighter, creamier version of Jungle Elephant I did not know what to expect....but I was excited! Well, it never reached the heady heights of the hype (how could it touch Elephant?! So controverial! So unique! So polarising!). However, the more I wear it the more I like it in its own right. Imagine Elephant. Now turn the volume way, way down to create a daytime Elephant "lite". Then take away all but one clove, tame it, smooth it, soften it, give it sweet fruits, creamy amber, a masculine vertiver edge & then calm it all down with plenty of clean musk. This is Femme. It is a seductive fruity scent - a wink & a smile! Wear it when you're feeling upbeat & flirty & want to stand out in a subtle way. This one will grow on you....

Hey femme, how you doing old girl? I once wondered what the heck you were all about but now I get it. Autumn test, skin, bottle now a couple years old, must have matured a bit and bloomed. Initially I thought this scent sucked, now I don’t. I think it’s a wearable version of Angel. No patchouli in femme, no headaches, brighter, and it dries down like a more vibrant version of perhaps alien future- the red bottle. Cinnamon, warm, a touch sweet in a non edible way, it’s not spicy, but maybe softly spiced... could be a touch of woods in the rear, I don’t get an aromatic freshie sense from this nor a real fruity sense, and that’s fine, what ever is there is blended really well. I changed my dislike vote to a like vote.

Tonight I bought the edt version and it's not purple as in pictures,it's blueish and I'm worried that maybe I've bought an aged bottle I can still get lots of spices(cinnamon,ginger and pepper) and non-descript fruits,after some times it still remains spicy in a warm,pleasant way(I'm very thankful that there's no cardamom on me)I can also get heliotrope,a hint of patchouli which isn't too much or bad)and just a hint of chocolate I could love it if it was sweeter and more chocolatey,also I wish it was stronger/louder But I know that most gourmands are't as sweet as I like in first times,and they usually grow on me after a week or so Gonna edit this if anything changes,for now it's something between meh and like

FdMB takes a journey on my skin. It starts off as a masculine spicy citrus with some vetiver; sharp and fresh. Soon a syrupy boozy pineapple shows up. These two stages are quite transient. A longer phase follows. The heart is made of sweet powdery, silky-smooth, florals with a nutty edge (probably the heliotrope). It is quite delicate, sensual, feminine, and elegant at this stage. The base is made of chocolatey patchouly, and warm, cozy amber; very lovely. Performance is on the weaker end of moderate. I like how they incorporated the Mont Blanc logo in the bottle design. If you’re a collector like me, the flacon would make a nice display alongside Chopard Wish and Angel EDP and EDT.

Now that I have been wearing this frag for two days I have finally found time to sit down and write a review. To begin with, this is a very sensual and feminine fragrance in an adorable diamond-shaped bottle. The opening is fruity but not fresh and juicy as one might expect - it is warm and creamy with the sweetness of the cinnamon and pineapple notes. The base notes are dark and sexy with the heliotrope standing out among the other notes. Then the drydown is just gorgeous - the chocolate notes are somehow similar to the chocolate in Tom Ford's Black Orchid though, as a whole, both frags are very different. Femme is smooth, silky and sensual and a great choice for colder weather.

Hi! well today I am going to tell you all about my experience with Femme by Montblanc EDT. I used to wear it in the Winter and it was actually great but I didn't think it had much longevity nor sillage...but today, a really hot day here in Argentina I can still smell it, perfect! It's over 7 hours I put a couple of spritzes on...Wow...I highly recommend it...very sexy and delicious! You can almost eat it! lol The chocolate yum, pineapple oh everything is so yum!!!Men were all starring at me today, they might want to eat me? Funny. For sure it will keep the men coming...Try it, it's a great gourmand. I love it!

This review is for EDP. Sweet and spicy, feminine and deep...pineapple sweetness spiced with cardamom and a lot of cinnamon. Yes, I also get the Lolita similarity. Gourmand notes prevail, and I don't get flower notes here. The drydown after 5 hours is warm amberly and slightly woody, very pleasant. It is definately a fall/winter perfume, with good longevity and sillage. Too sweet and fruity for me to love it but I do enjoy its spicy side. Apply with caution, it can be too sweet if overapplied. For me it is not for a day wear. This will warm me during cold rainy evenings.

To me, this is Angel Light. This is what I had hoped Angel would smell like on me, but didn't. Femme de Mont Blanc is lightly sweet and spicy. The base notes, in particular the patchouli and amber, keep the scent warm, a bit "dirty," and also keep this from being too gourmand. The dominant notes to me are the fruit, chocolate and cardamom. Femme de Mont Blanc is both delicious and sensual. Floral notes hover in the background and help to maintain a certain lightness that makes this scent very versatile. It's very fresh, very soothing.

I apologise to those that love this, maybe I got an old bottle. I blind bought based on reviews. But This is rubbish. Liquorice lolly water. No real notes, complete scrubber Starts off liquorice and cough mix, and has some deep dusky sugar smell. Fades and gone within half an hour Blegh EDIT I tried on a pulse point. This did not redeem its self, I could touch on a couple more notes, but on the plus side if anyone likes Thierry's angel but that sits too strongly, then this isn't a bad dupe, quieter but sends a similar vibe

First few minutes it smells like Angel on me - very strong earthy patchouli ...but then after few minutes it changes to a sweet-spicy fragrance of pineapple , berries , flowers with hints of amber , cinnamon and musk. It is a very unique, strong and complex fragrance. Lots of different notes that play beautifully on my skin within few hours. The drydown is also very very nice- soft peach and berry on chocolate and musk base. It end with patchouli and vetiver. Amazing and very interesting. One of its kind I would say .

Cinnamon warm spicey sweet with an acidic sweet fruit background. I hated this and thought is was a cheapie in the way it developed in my skin in summer. This isn't a favourite, but spraying it on my chest has made this fragrance bloom. Not a sweet sugary frag. Not a favourite since I've got others to use up, and this doesn't make me delighted when I've sprayed it on my arm, only down my top do I like getting wafts of it. I've sprayed a Chloe over top but it hasn't dampened the femme frag. No longer a hate

Femme de Montblanc makes me mixed feelings. There is nothing intriguing about what would cause that I feel unique when you wear one... But I like this note of soap, which works for me relaxed. Unfortunately, the one is not moving at all times on my skin and basically smells the same: mix flowers and fruit with a predominance of pineapple seasoned with cardamom. I think it everyday perfume for cooler days. Since I finished it, I think to buy another bottle.

This is sweet, balmy spicy for me. Additionally, it's flowery too at the second level. I like it a lot, I think it has some kind of character.. Edt and edp are a bit different but both nice. Edt is lighter, maybe it's little more nice. It's discontinued though, whatever you find now... It shouldn't get discontinued but all good things sometimes come to their end. PS: The begining is sooo good! Plus, it's an absolute winter-only perfume...
