Lady Emblem

This scent, on me, reminds me of walking through the heirloom roses at our beach house as a child. I am a lover of roses! This actually smells like roses to me, not some imitation. It isn't white or green at all to me. The Patchouli, Sandalwood and Rosewood seem to last for quite some time, as does the rose. The middle notes are, in my opinion and for my chemistry, balanced perfectly so as to not get that powdery rose scent that so many describe as 'old lady' smell. The fruit keeps it fresh and adds a little brightness- like a sweet breeze blowing through that beach house rose garden. Perfect sillage and great longevity. I love it.

I love this smell so much! It reminds me so much of summer nights in Paris and all the amazing feelings and memories there. It is definitely a scent you can get attached to easily.. It is also the smell which people can start associating you with and say 'Oh I know your smell!" It's gentle, warm, silkish and very addictive. LOVE it!!!!! Amazing release Montblanc!

Fresh start of the day, not very long lasting.The fragrance i wore when i was pregnant.I find it very good and not offending for anyone. The others we’re too much in my nose.So it’s fresh and summery fragrance.

I love this so much it’s so fresh and clean and put together but in a feminine way it’s delicate and bright and it gives me this rich happy lady vibe🫧🪷✨

It's sweet and fruity perfume. I love combination of Pink rose and Raspberry on this perfume.it has a Beautiful bottle. better for young women.

Love Love Love <3 I can't stop sniffing myself. It smells really delicious up-close ;^) !

socorrosouza - I couldn't agree more with your comments on reviewing a perfume! Everyone's chemistry and nose is different and adding the caveat "on my skin" is definitely recommended, esp. for negative reviews. For me I have often changed my mind on perfumes and never totally write anything off until I have at least tried it in all seasons and at different times of the day. Personally I find Lady Emblem to be very different to Roses de Chloe, which it has been compared to many times here. I own and love them both but wear them for different moods and in different weather. On my skin, Lady Emblem seems to emphasize the jammy rose, tart raspberry and creamy rosewood. The other notes are definitely there but are more of a support. The patchouli is very well behaved and settles in with the smooth creaminess. I would find this too sweet if it were not for the tart sourness of the raspberry and the balancing effect of the woods, patchouli and musk. I also have to be careful not to apply too much as it does tend to be a bit nauseating for me (esp. in hot weather), lightly does it and it is a wonderful well behaved scent to my nose. This is also not a perfume I can simply apply without thought, my chemistry seems to change and the weather definitely plays a role so some days I can't wear it and others I can't do without it. There are a few perfumes in my collection that I have this love/hate relationship with. Weird isn't it? On the topic of silage, I have had a colleague compliment me on my perfume in our pause area 3 or 4 hours after applying Lady Emblem! It is generally still noticeable to me for at least 8 hours and if I put my nose to my skin about 12 or more. I think I am probably very lucky with both the silage and longevity. Thank you everyone for your reviews! Happy perfuming!

Here are the correct notes (according to Montblanc's website): Top note: Sake notes - Pink pepper - Pink grapefruit Heart note: Jasmine - Rose EssentialTM -Pomegranate Base note: Sandalwood - Amber notes - Musk crystals Pretty pleasant but a familiar scent profile. So, it's nothing special or mind-blowing. Not too complex but interesting. It doesn’t smell dated to me at all! But if you do not like rose perfumes, you wouldn't enjoy it. From the starting the rose note is very prominent and will stay till the end. I think the sake and pink grapefruit make the opening slightly jammy. Then it turns into this musky rose body lotion and lingers on my skin. It doesn't smell like shampoo to me although my mom said it smelled like a high-end soap. The good thing is it doesn't smell sharp or synthetic at all. I do not get the sandalwood note. One thing is for sure, it's not a light scent! 4-5 spritzes and I was already leaving a trail. I need to appreciate the bottle and packaging though. The top part of the box is like an envelope which I like a lot. It feels like you're opening a love letter. The bottle is so heavy and beautiful, I just can't stop admiring it. The cap is made of glass too which surprised me. It does look very premium. Overall, it's a pleasant scent. Pink, romantic and poetic. I see Belle from Beauty and the Beast wearing this. It fits more as a spring time scent but could be worn all year round.

My mom's friend got her two Montblanc perfumes as a gift; this, and the Lady Emblem Elixir. They got this one for me, apparently, just in case I'd like it??? lol. I haven't had too much luck with Montblanc (only other perfume I had was Signature and GOD i hate it), but this one was a really nice add to my collection, and it's nice to have something different and admittedly MUCH more sophisticated and "normal" that i can go with besides my two JC perfumes. Maybe it'd be good for layering with a nice white floral to bring out the pink grapefruit note. The pink pepper note is interesting to me. I've only ever smelled pink pepper in one thing, and it was this pink pepper lotion that smelled atrocious. The scent was way too strong, so I didn't have much hope this'd smell any better, but it did! It only ever shines after the drydown, and it's a subtle warm spicy, powdery scent...the pink grapefruit adds a nice refreshing-ness to it, too, it's not as sweet as I expected, though. The musk is calm and not as overpowering as it is in Signature, so it doesn't ruin every other note and gives each one their chance to shine. I feel like this scent is definitely one that ages me a bit, but it'd be nice for something like a family gathering or party. I still need to smell Elixir again though, maybe that one would suit my tastes better?

I was so intrigued by the marmalade note and expected this to be a jammy goodness feat roses. Found it at nearby department store, try it on paper, can't stop sniffing it. It's rose! It's a nice rose! Happily ordered my bottle. The package came and I sprayed it on me. I waited for the sweeter notes to show up but I got none. This manifested itself as a very tame rose then BAM! pink grapefruit. It's unmistakably pink grapefruit. My family always kept a can of pink grapefruit candies when I was younger. This exactly smells like that, accompanied with a good dose of dewy roses. Tart, sour, no marmalade. This does smell very safe and inoffensive. Office/campus friendly and sits very well with those who dislike loud perfumes. Not a hate but still kinda disappointed. Where's my marmalade, Montblanc? :( Quick update: I layered it with a jammy, sticky, turkish delight-ish kind of rose solinote from an indie brand (currently not in Fragrantica's database). Now I got EXACTLY what I had in mind on Fragrantica's scent pyramid. Pretty sure there's a lot of jammy rose solinotes out there (mine's pretty cheap) that will definitely do the work.

Even before the first spray I could smell this sweet and unobtrusive rose note floating through (which is so strange that it’s not in the notes). This opens with a tart-sweet freshly cut rose, beautiful and bright with a little touch of sharpness. This dies down pretty quickly in to clean fruity floral almost giving a very shampoo vibe which makes this such an easy breezy fragrance to wear. Then as it settles in after about 30mins it’s like it becomes a little more complex and ‘grown up’, almost like it starts as a 16 year old in the opening and settles in to its early 30’s by the dry down. I’m really enjoying how it sort of settles in to the skin on me in a way that makes it really comfortable as an everyday wear. Very different from the sometimes bombastic niche fragrances that can often make you feel like they are wearing you. It’s girly, office friendly and I’m interested to see how this fares in receiving compliments.

No sweet notes to my nose or on my skin! I don't mind it though- it starts fresh and sour, almost sharp. I'd say I smell grapefruit and not some marmalade. The rose is really out there the entire time. I'm usually not a rose girl and I happen to dislike almost anything that smells of roses, but Lady Emblem is a big exception. I love this fragrance for spring. The longevity is moderate and the scent stays close to my skin. Edit I have been wearing this for some time now since it is spring where I live and the warmth brings this fragrance to life. I have received multiple compliments and honestly, I feel beautiful wearing it. However, this is one that I would respray and the shape of the bottle doesn't make it easy to carry around. Despite the design being pretty, its inconvenient shape is the only con I could give Lady Emblem.

Got my second bottle ! Elegance in a bottle .. sophisticated, sexy and yet girly and flirty.. At the opening i definitely get the grapefruit, the opening is boozy. at the drydown I get wood and musk with a touch of sweetness, very delicate, non headachy sweetness.. This perfume brings a lot of memories for me.. first kiss, first love, end of high school... It was the only perfume i owned before i got into the perfume world. It’s a great perfume for eveningnight time as it has that boozy neuance, And it’s especially good the colder days in my opinion. HUGE problem with this perfume is that the lasting power is so weak! After an hour I can’t smell the perfume on me anymore.. on days i wear this perfume, i have to carry it with me and reapply often 😤

Lovely! Both soft and strong all at once. At first sniff you really get the pink pepper and sake with maybe a hint of pink grapefruit. It’s both citrusy and light yet a little rich. On dry down you mostly smell musk, jasmine, amber, and some remnants of sake plus rose- even though I don’t see rose on the notes here. It’s the scent I think a professional woman would wear if she didn’t want to offend anyone- it has that classy complexity yet is gentle in a way. I think it’s somewhere in between modern and classic. With some oak moss, civet, or vetyver it would be more classic or 80s. If it was sweeter or had more citrus it might be more modern. Good value. Lovely bottle. Lasting power is good.

After reading the reviews I'm convinced there are several different variations of this scent lol I don't get the grapefruit or marmalade... Not much fruit either. I get pure soft rose that's slightly sweet. Makes me feel like a spring morning and gives me a bit of energy (it's currently -34 today lol I needed this scent) I have always detested too floral fragrances and was surprised wen I blind bought it because I did like it (I got the rose right away and I didn't read any reviews) but this one has enough sweetness in it for me to like it...and for the $19.99 price I feel it was worth it. Lasts a fair bit on me where as my skin eats most scents almost instantly.

Hey y'all Doing another review as it's a different season Yes... well, I don't get the rose notes. I suppose the fruit part could be in the same vein as what Chloe does.. Pleasant perfume yes, but I find it doesn't last so long and at least I don't think it appears to have much sillage. First off I get fresh, crisp fruit - not a fruity tootie- it must be wood that tempers it... then the fresh goes and I have the fruit perfumey scent left. This is a test after s shower in the evening, so I may just wear it tomorrow to do a day test. I love the bottle, it glistens like the light shimmering over a stream. (I only buy for scent though never for a bottle). Cheers

My husband likes this. For some reason it smells very 90s to me. This fragrance opens with a youthful burst of orange and feminine florals. It is great for the summer and makes for an optimistic and refreshing start to the day. The patchouli is more prominent in the drydown, lending a stronger and rounded base. Orange and patchouli are the most detectable notes, with a biting spice from a dose of black pepper that adds further freshness. The scent is encapsulated by a very oriental rose. The texture is a combination of powdery sandalwood and bursts of zesty fruit. Altogether, it has a very happy, extroverted and easy-going, girl about the town character.

This is one of the most delicate rose perfumes I've ever smelt. Smells like fresh pink roses mixed with a touch of love and romance and sensual red berries. It's definitely fruity, but very stylish and feminine, not in a childish way. It's not overly sweet, at least to my nose it smells somehow sour like fresh cut grasses. I also smell something like pine apple that I have no idea where it comes from, but whatever it is, it is delicious. It stays pretty good on my skin and even though I'm not a fan of these polygonal bottles, the bottle is extra ordinary. All in all, highly recommended for classy young women.

In my opinion, the best time for it is warm weather, because in summer heat it can become too generic and shampoo-ey,while in cold weather - too quiet. A crowd pleaser, I don't think many people would object to it. Bottle design is beautiful and I think this fragrance would make a good gift because of how agreeable it is. Sweet and sour, which makes it different from the majority of rose+raspberry DNA fragrances currently in the market, but not enough to make it outstanding. On me, doesn't develop over time, which is a major letdown. On my skin, longevity is average, about 4h, sillage is moderate.

These are my first Montblanc perfumes.I havent found others of that brand appealing to me before. But I've fallen in love in Lady Emblem from the very first whiff. For me the scent resebles Roses de Chloe which I love and wear the most often but somehow it reminds me also of Givenchy Ange ou Demon Le Secret. Seems hardly possible to make those two simillar to one fragrance but yet for me Lady Emblem combines it! LOVE IT!
