Montri

A fabulous scent, and worth every penny spent. It's my first Dusita scent, and frankly I hadn't paid any attention to any of the previous ones, even when I saw them reviewed here. I just happened to come upon the announcement about this one a mere 3 days ago and saw all that nutmeg, rose and oud and went overboard and bought the smaller bottle. Or was afraid I'd gone overboard, even though they were giving away a 9-vial "discovery kit," and a 3-little bottle kit of some name. I worried; there you go rosequeen, dropping a wad on a scent you haven't smelled and very few people have smelled. It's a great scent, but different than what I thought it would be like. It is absolutely not a rose/spice bomb. The oud is very gentle. You're not getting a Tom Ford scent or a Montale, Memo, or anything at all like that. The juice is very much like an old school French parfum from maybe the late 1950-1975 era. Like a Hermes Amazone parfum or that Parfum d'Hermes. Montri doesn't smell like either of them, but it's in that high class really French mode from that era. And the feeling you get when you spray it on is almost like dabbing on an old Guerlain parfum out of a stoppered bottle. It has that old school exquisite feeling to it you don't get very often with new fragrances. To my nose anyway, it's very much a rose and iris scent. I'm never good at making the "vote for ingredients" function work here, but I smell more sandalwood than either oud or patchouli. Above all, it's an adult fragrance. Women or men. There's nothing frothy or giggly with this perfume, and neither will you feel like a teenager wearing it. You don't wear this to meet someone in a bar. You might wear it to meet someone who owns the block in which the bar is located. Or wear it when you're with someone in your life who you'd like to have see your serious side, for once. It's that important a fragrance. Oh, and I ordered it from Dusita's website in France and full marks to them. I ordered it the 29th, they shipped it the 31st and I got it this afternoon, June 1, in California. For 15 euro and tracking. I thought I'd have to wait at least a week. Great packaging material, no worry there either. Just the best.

This beautiful, sentimental perfume has a lovely yet wistful story behind it and it’s inspired by Pissara’s father - Montri - and it makes a homage to him. Unfortunately he passed away in 2006 and because of the respect of his memory I felt for long time that I don’t have words enough to describe this scent as beautifully as I wanted to. The notes which are used around Agarwood was Montri’s most beloved fragrance notes and Pissara has made an amazing job to capture all emotions in this scent. Because of my own overly happy childhood yet some emotional blocks related to it with my father, the tears just started to flow while writing this. 🥹 ❤️ Montri opens up with a cloud of spices and a greenish Petitgrain but really quickly I get a delightfully sensual combination of mellow roses (May and Damask) and light leather and oud. Those are the main notes which mingle in the air and I’m more than happy to find that combo which is wearable in warmer weather too. A leather note is hard to me pull off when it ́s warm and if it’s mellow and dark but this is really nicely done a soft whiff, just perfect. In my skin I don’t separate Jasmine (like a perfumer’s own Dried Fruit Accord neither) so I think this is worth to try even for those ones who doesn’t like Jasmine. Ylang-Ylang brings a little bit sweetness with Orris Butter and the latter one makes warm, powdery and delicate effect. Montri settles down in a base with Oud Palao, Oak, Cedar, Vetiver, Tonka Bean, Patchouli and Sandalwood. This juice really starts to shine in the warm weather and the warmer is the skin the prettier, softer and warmer is the aroma of it. In my cold skin during wintertime this was amazingly different than on my husband’s warm skin and on my skin now in a warmer weather. Gorgeous unisex scent 🌹 Thank you for reading, I hope my review was helpful. I would appreciate a lot if you want to follow me on IG and/or YouTube (English subtitles): @ninamariahperfumes It gives me a lot of motivation to write more. 🤗

On paper: What beautiful rose! It's no girly rose either, it's a fully saturated rosegarden for plant lovers kind of rose ;) It has a lot more going on besides that but I find it difficult to describe. I should wear this for a day to learn more about it. On skin: The same beautiful rose. The leather seems more clear now, and it's the freshest leather I've smelled to date. The rose and leather, some woodiness and all the rest make for a seamless blend. I really love it because to me it has all the beauty of the rose without it being a flowery perfume. So smartly done and thoroughly enjoyable. You know how you need thick leather gloves and professional shears when you handle roses? All these scents seem to be at play here. The green and wood from the stems, the leather from the gloves, the mineral oil and wet stainless steel from the pruning shears. I can't help but wonder if Montri had an actual rose garden :) Such a poetic perfume, perfectly matching Pissara's story and brand. Gorgeous! PS: I kept coming back to my sample and liked it more and more. I just ordered the 50ml bottle from Dusita :) PPS: my 50ml just arrived :) And guess what, the package contained a sample of Pelagos! Quelle belle surprise! I'll make sure to post a review.

I ordered a sample of Montri after reading an article here on F. It does indeed stand out in the sea of "meh" fragrances I've sampled lately. The opening is rather fresh and citrusy with a whiff of fruitiness, on my skin. Elegantly restrained use of Saffron, gives this a silky smooth minimalist texture. Other than Saffron (which runs throughout the entire composition) no one note stands out to steal the show. Notes do play peek-a-boo, though. Which may have something to do with ambient temps. It does seem to deepen as it wears and warms on the skin. I have a feeling that it's one of those scents that can smell different on every person. As I normally avoid anything with oud. Whatever kind used here is the kind I can get with. Montri has very good sillage and longevity. It's no beast, but also no fading memory of a scent, either. It holds its composure nicely, especially on clothing. If you don't consciously catch whiffs of it throughout the day, others do. FBW quality in my book. The price point, however... 8.5/10

I got a sample of Montri along with Rosarine and immediately loved Rosarine, but Montri was too... something. I still don't know, it just disagreed with me. I put it down for a couple months. The chest where I keep all my perfumes is close to where I sit and study in my room and at the time the bottle of Montri was closest. I kept getting whiffs of it without really thinking about what it was I was smelling. At some point the scent became pleasant—I would be sitting there with my laptop, inhaling deeply. I sprayed it lightly (and very hesitantly) a few weeks ago and oh my god, so much beauty and warmth! Montri reminds me a lot of Knowing, not because of the scent itself, but rather the body, the fullness of the experience of wearing it. But while Knowing is outward in a sense—a coat or a thick scarf, something protective and covering—Montri is very very internal. Like a rose garden I can retreat to.

There are few masculine rose-oud combinations that are this well blended, and especially few that are as light as this one is on the oud. The oud adds just a nice hint of piquancy here, but it's light enough here not to be overwhelming (which is unfortunately very easy to fall into with oud fragrances). The saffron, the fruit notes, and the ylang-ylang in combination make this smell also a little different than most rose fragrances, to this very nice perfume's advantage. My sample only lasted 3-4 hours, which is less than most people report: that was my only disappointment with this otherwise superb perfume from Dusita, which regularly makes some of the most complex and beautifully blended fragrances in the niche perfume world. You could wear this in any weather or at any time of day.

I was really excited to be the first to try this in my state from my local boutique a few weeks before the launch. The owner asked me if I thought it was too masculine, but I think it's perfectly unisex. I don't get a lot of the top notes except a bit of spice and saffron, to me it's a beautiful rose- leather accord with the woods combining into an incense-y note. This is probably the only oud I've tried where it didn't drown everything else out, it blends in perfectly. It reminds me a bit of Guerlain Santal Royale and Encens Mythique, and the rose is dark like Bottega Veneta Eau de Velours. Moderate sillage. I applied it in the evening and by morning it was still there, but mostly rose by then. I love this so much and was really grateful to have the opportunity to try it early!

Montri by Dusita, was an early blind request for a fathers day gift offer, and Love it! Reading that it was a homage by Pissara to her dad perked my interest, and having her sample set, was already a fan. Even watched a few reviews, so, it was not a reckless choice . It has exceeded expectations, though, an exceptional oudh fragrance. The leather, florals, spices and fruity accord are all blended perfectly in the background harmony, elevating the beautiful Oudh to it's rightful place. Oudh Infini is a masterpiece, but Montri may be for me, more versatile, wearable and just as excellent. The description: "emphasis on suavity" says it perfectly. Thank you Pissara, couldn't be more pleased. Excellent longevity, moderate projection and unique artistry, Not at all redundant.

I have a bottle of this perfume. It lasts about 10 hours, with a medium-high intensity at the start that will stay at medium intensity most of the time and with very good projection. The first sensation that I have of the perfume is of a perfume where we will find the set of woods and leather that in their exit are impregnated with the aromas of a spice market with the extreme of aromatic plants. Fantastic the moment when oregano, cinnamon, saffron comes to the nose... I love it. Over time, the spices and aromatic plants soften, giving way to wood and leather, but these aromas still have slight textures from the rest of the aromas. It is a striking, attractive and very interesting perfume. Although it is a unisex niche perfume, in my opinion it is more masculine.

Montri is nothing short a gorgeous oud rose fragrance, not being too out of the ordinary nor too boring. It is for me at least one of my favorite takes on this DNA, within Dusita’s line this is top 3 for me. I am a sucker for this kind of emotional marketing - but Pissara really did translate her compassion into the bottle. It is well worth paying for and while the oud doesn’t stick out, I don’t think that’s a downside. It is blended perfectly as it is and clearly there was a vision. I hope to one day do something as well executed, a memoir of loved one through scent.

I love this scent... it’s a gorgeous woody masculine Chypre/aromatic fougere hybrid. I think maybe she should’ve left out the “oud palao” notes and just called it “woody notes” as the language seems to be throwing some people off. This is far from an oud rose or even an oud scent, in general. Love rbalkris reviews for the most part(and his perfumes are fantastic) but I don’t see at all where he’s coming from with “middle eastern vibes”... Much more of a classic French affair. To my senses at least! Well trodden path but the walk is just gorgeous.

Mysterious with a vintage vibe. The brand sent this to me as a sample, and I was unsure if I’d love it due to the rose notes. And yes, the first 10 minutes are very rose-centric for me. I don’t like rose at all, but I still adore this fragrance — that says a lot. This melts into something more beautiful once the sharpness of the rose falls away. The oud is gentle but powerful. The orris root provided a deep heart. A real grown up fragrance.

perseeque Said it. To me this is a lighter much more usable version of Oudh Infinity. Love this the moment I tried it. Don’t get me wrong, this is NOT watered down Oudh Infinity. Just similar enough. Edit. Unfortunately the on skin longevity was only about barely six hrs. As for on clothing, after ten hrs it was still weakly projecting. Also unfortunately that the dry down for this is not as pleasing as that of OI.

There is certainly poetry in Pissara’s compositions, quiet refinement and effortless understated elegance. They are multidimensional, complex, slightly nostalgic. This makes me think - it’s not just a scent, this is a proper perfume. And it is not easy to pinpoint - is it woody, spicy or floral? Discreet or expansive? It is at the same time somehow very French and very Thai. Captivating and serene, contemplative.

This perfume is childhood memories bottled. I don't know how she did it but she was able to capture the persistent and pervasive scent of my grandmothers house. The comfort, the real wooden furniture, the incense. It's all beautifully captured. It evokes the most fondest memories I have of relaxing life in the country side. A real tear jerker.

Another high quality fragrance released by Parfums Dusita. I was lucky enough to receive a 15ml decant of this to review. It’s a very beautiful Oud base unisex fragrance. Inspired by the poetry of her late father, she created a masterpiece for both genders to enjoy. You will enjoy wearing this beautiful fragrance. Full review on my channel.

Inspired stuff, oud rose, but not middle eastern at all. Deeply east asian. Opens spicy, with an interesting dried fruits accord. Rose is throughout. Base is woods, oud, and animalic musk. Classic composition, but unique. Really really good. Another banger from dusita. Go Pissara!

This uses many of the same ingredients as Oudh Infini with a more tame oud note and no civet. Neither masculine nor feminine, Montri adds spices and dried fruit to the mix while maintaining the classic French thing Pissara is known for.

Oregano saffron oud with warm spices..... Awesome...... My new fall scent..... You have to put much for the effect 10 out of 10 the best dusita by far..... A new hype has born

I love a good rose/oud. Montri is in my top 3, along with Epic 56 and Roja Aoud. This is so extravagant and beautiful, a true masterpiece in my opinion!
