Signature

Softly sweet, creamy, floral, citrusy, bright, fresh, powdery, musky, warm, feminine, sensual, chic, elegant, sophisticated, charming, whimsical, dreamy, delightful, delicate, uplifting, cheerful, happy, clean, cozy, comforting On me this is a beautiful and softly sweet scent of fresh and bright clementine, slightly waxy and lemony magnolia, a whisper of lush ylang ylang, and a delicate touch of velvety peony, on a fluffy cloud of creamy vanilla, powdery musk, and cozy benzoin. For some reason this is oddly difficult for me to describe. It kind of brings to mind the thought of a delicate floral dreamsicle! It even somehow has this delightfully cozy feel to it. This is a sweet vanilla for the clean aesthetic girl. It’s beautiful, sweet, and creamy with a touch of warmth, but also bright, fresh, floral, and clean feeling. It’s somewhat basic, yet unique in a way. Overall, a very pleasant fragrance, and an easy reach, especially for everyday wear. This would even make a lovely signature scent. A friend of mine gifted me a bottle of this along with some of my favorite SDJ mists and products, and some decants and samples of other fragrances she thought I’d like. I was excited to try this one, especially because I’d recently been hearing about out it around that time. Out of all of the bottles and decants of ones I hadn’t tried, this was my favorite. It was love at first sniff for me! I’m actually reminded of a couple of fragrances with this one... I think it’s strongly similar to Derek Lam 10 Crosby Looking Glass (notes: Magnolia, floral notes, tonka bean), and I think it’s also somewhat similar to VS Bare Vanilla, and even slightly Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid. I think I’m reminded of Gorgeous Orchid because of a similar vibe, and because it’s also a fairly simple, softly sweet vanilla, that’s somehow both powdery and creamy, as well as basic yet unique. I get good performance with Montblanc Signature. The longevity is decent, it lasts 6+ hours on my skin. The projection is decent, it radiates out about an arm’s length. I’m a huge fan of vanillas, so for reference some of my favorites include Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Kayali The Wedding Silk Santal, Kayali Vanilla 28, Kayali Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato, PDM Oriana, Kilian LDBS, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Burberry Goddess, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, Valentino DBIR Pink, JPG Classique Pin Up, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, Phlur Heavy Cream, SDJ Summer é Amor, SDJ 39, SDJ 62, VS Vanilla Lace, BBW Beach Nights, BBW Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds

This is the perfume that got me into "investigating" the gourmand "movement". Even though, technically, its notes are mostly floral and fruity only. It opens with a magnolia blossom fresh after the spring shower, elegant in its soft essence and with a golden sparkles of cheeky clementine dancing on its petals. Its fresh and smooth and cheerful. When the clementine fades away, magnolia is joined by vanilla and benzoin, giving it an incredible satin-smooth sweet milk accord, which enraptures your senses and makes you feel afloat on a cloud made of the flower petals and silk yarn. This perfume does come out pretty much all notes at once, with none willing to wait for another. They are never in conflict and are most beautifully and brilliantly put together, becoming one, and making it all but impossible to imagine them separate. The projection is very good and staying power matches it perfectly. Magnolia, vanilla and benzoin are the leads in this composition, creating a gourmand impression of impeccable beauty and elegance, never too much or not enough. They are addictive, seductive and exceptional. This is a feminine scent, although if another sex wears it - I would never complain. And whilst it is (on first impression) rather obviously demure and delicate, there is a Melusina under those calm, virgin surface, waiting to burst out and seduce her noble prey. Dry down is as delicious as the rest of the aroma, and once melted into skin, - stays for hours on end. This is a perfect bedroom perfume, but after at least 4 - 5 hours of air and play, in order not to compete for possession of its wearer with the other half. It is perfect for love making on satin sheets and under the golden glow of sundown. I am still surprised that this scent was made by Montblanc, whose main trade is most certainly not in intimate luxury experiences, but I applaud them even more for that. The Signature is indeed the One that became Mine. Each spray is like few strokes of a pen, with which I make myself known and acknowledged. The price, for a designer brand is most reasonable and no dupes exist (to the best of my knowledge and experience) that come anywhere close to the Signature's originality and unmistakable identity. To me - this is magnolia at her sweetest and the best and a very safe buy for your loved one for a special occasion and/or as expression of your deepest feelings and desires if one is not able to put them in words.

Oh I think fate led me to this perfume by accident. I had been torn between Good Girl Blush and Elixir for so long, sprayed them many times but never made up my mind. I didn’t even know Mont Blanc smelled similar to them. it was a complete coincidence. This time I went shopping with my friends, ready to finally choose. i sprayed both (gg blush & gg blush elixir) couldn’t smell them clearly, so the sales assistant told me to spray one on each hand, walk around, then come back to decide & right before leaving the store i noticed Mont Blanc & I’ve always loved the bottle but couldn’t remember how it smelled so i sprayed it just in case and left. While walking, this beautiful creamy feminine scent kept following me ! It smelled clean, soft, and elegan . unlike Good Girl, which always felt too sharp or too young for me. (btw I just turned 30) i went back to resmell everything and that creamy scent was still lingering & i didn’t even realize it was Mont Blanc until the sales assistant reminded me - thanks to her- i sprayed it again & immediately knew this was the one!! i bought the biggest size, the matching lotion, and the 10ml spray. No hesitation at all. It’s sweet, creamy, slightly gourmand . like a soft cloud that follows you with every step ☁️🌸 so feminine , elegant, and mature. the musk in signature mont blanc reminds me a lot of Narciso Rodriguez. It also layers beautifully with other perfumes and works perfectly as a base. Honestly, the scent, the bottle, the pric way better than expected!! Might be my summer signature. You seriously need to try this hidden gem .

I love when a fragrance surprises me. I purchased this because I believed this would be a beautiful sweet clean musk, simular to Narciso Rodriguez For Her. It IS a beautiful sweet musk, but it's lighter and sweeter. A little...tropical. But I would not consider this a typical tropical perfume. When I first sprayed this, I got this beautiful vanilla ice cream fragrance floating around me. Light and pretty. Beautiful! I let it settle on my skin for a few seconds, and then took a deep sniff, nose to skin. What I smelled was... clementine. A wonderful bright fresh citrus. So lovely! So surprising! In the middle, when this settles, the sweet vanilla ice cream scent comes through, but the clementine is still there. This is my favorite part, because it reminds me of a Creamsicle. I love that citrus orange vanilla musk combo. Just incredible. Then I get the magnolia and ylang ylang, which gives it a hint of a coconutty smell. Just a hint. In the drydown it smells more of a light ylang ylang vanilla musk. Clean, sweet, and fresh. This did not last long on my skin, but it lasted great in my hair and on my clothes. I get pretty good projection too. It's not strong enough to knock a co-worker down, but I do gets hints of it around me as I am working. Makes me happy. Makes me so happy.

The olfactory center of the brain is located on the same lobe as the emotion center. Hilariously I had a huge hesitancy with committing to this fragrance for more than a year. It is more affordable than its most resembling comparison Good Girl Blush. During the time I was indecisive, on a side-by-side comparison I had a preference towards GGB. It’s more floral, it gives the more perfume-y feeling, and it projects significantly better. GGB is early, cold spring. Signature is winter, it reminds me of the snow (I live by the mediterranean). It is very cozy and comforting. Creamy vanilla, not warm, not bakery, and clean. Dim lights against the winter cold that sneaks through the window. My friend told me it reminded her of a Swedish lady of high status from her childhood. She was sitting by the christmas tree. When I was “deeply inspecting” to come to a decision I noticed the clementine too. Now that I have it and wear it without attaching complexity or thought to each note individually, I do not notice it. When I woke up I could still smell it on my neck, it was the same scent that I smelled about 15 minutes after spraying, which was at around 6pm last night. I loved the Nivea and Dove review that someone left, this perfume absolutely carries that same feeling.
