IHaute Couture and Haute Parfumerie in perfect harmony. Sensual and sophisticated, Montaigne surprises with its fascinating interplay of textures created by its ingredients: superb essence of Indian sandalwood enhanced by mimosa absolute. One is exotic and intriguing while the other is typically French, exhaling a deliciously sunny fragrance…
Mimosa tinged with the honeyed accents of orange blossom absolute reveals an almost palpable sweetness thanks to a cassia absolute. Powdery and silky soft, its floral heart is contrasted by the incomparable mellowness of sandalwood while the vanilla and balsams – benzoin and labdanum – meld to create a warm, unctuous fragrance trail.
This Montaigne is a couture fragrance and the epitome of French elegance! Timeless.

A cult classic! An unforgettable scent with a scandalous reputation…between radiance and the depths of darkness, Narcisse Noir opposes two very different notes. Fresh and dazzling, neroli essence reveals its most radiant facets. An overdose of Mysore sandalwood essence infuses the perfume trail with the powerful velvety scent of this precious wood from India. The contrast between the two is radical. Totally hypnotic.
This creation captures several orange blossoms essences. The floral freshness of neroli. The green notes of petitgrain. The honeyed animal nuances of orange blossom absolute.

With Tabac Blond, leather is given pride of place, elevated by powerful woody and smokey notes. Virginian cedar wood is first added to the formula in excess, at 20%. Then the earthy accents of vetiver and patchouli, coupled with the smokey notes of cistus labdanum and vulcanised styrax essence. This very dark blend provides a stark contrast to its floral heart notes: a rich bouquet of rose and ylang-ylang, where the naturally spicy notes of carnation are accentuated by clove. Fused into an intense and deep scent, these antagonistic notes create a new kind of perfume. Evoking the transgressive atmosphere of the Roaring Twenties, Tabac Blond is a lightly powdery leather scent that is both dark and delicate with an enchanting ambivalence. A revolutionary creation back then, a revolutionary creation today.
