Do you like "delicious" smells? If yes, then this article will be of interest to you, because it will talk about Montale fragrances. Reviews about the perfumes of this brand are the most laudatory, so let's try to figure out what is the secret of the brand's success.
Pierre Montal
If you set out to find information about the creator of the brand, you will be surprised how little biographical data about Pierre Montale is on the Internet.
This French perfumer, before the Montal brand was founded, developed individual fragrances for customers for a long time. Just by looking at a person, he determined his preferences and interests and created a unique smell that suited him. For three years the perfumer worked in the Middle East, creating fragrances for high-ranking persons. Local culture and natural features inspired Pierre Montal to create his own line of fragrances. Returning to France, the perfumer developed the Montale brand, the reviews of which were and remain the most flattering. Why is that?
Oriental tale
The fact is that Montale perfume is a unique mix of oriental tradition and modern French vision. If you have been to the Arabian Peninsula or you have had a chance to “taste” local aromas-attars, then you know that oriental perfume is a delicate matter. Firstly, alcohol is practically not used in Arabic perfumes. Perfume durability is ensured by properly selected components of oils of special wood species, and what a durability! Arabic perfumery gives fragrance even for more than one day, while modern fashionable fragrances from store shelves last only a few hours.
The second feature of oriental perfumes is the brightness of the smell. The Arabs have invested in their perfumery all possible expression and passion, and therefore, as soon as you smell the perfume, you are transported to an oriental fairy tale. It is not surprising that although Montale fragrances are French, they are made in Arabic traditions. Pierre Montal could not help but fall in love with the Arabic flavor over the years of work, and therefore introduced a touch of the mysterious and mystical East into his creations. And what happened in the end? Montale perfumes have a light and pleasant sound, which is immediately recognizable and never forgotten.
Montale Features
Perfume reviews from Pierre Montal are almost all laudatory, but what is the secret of the master? As mentioned above, Montal managed to recreate the best oriental traditions in a European format. Despite the best traditions of creation, Arab perfumery is still very specific. Someone will say that such spirits are difficult to perceive and suffocate. Montale fragrances do not have this drawback. Perfume from the master has a pronounced oriental motifs thanks tousing raw materials traditional for Arabic perfumes.
In addition, Pierre Montal does not abuse alcohol, providing his works with durability thanks to the essential oils of plants, wood and flowers. You will hear jasmine, rose, aloe, amber, incense, oud wood, musk, but not alcohol - this is what Montale is famous for. At the same time, the perfume is very persistent, and you will be fragrant for a long time, leaving behind an exquisite trail.
Fancy packaging
How do you imagine the look of an expensive perfume? After all, "Montal" refers to the selective, which means that it must have a proper "attire".
Meanwhile, the creator of the brand came up with a completely different packaging format for the Montale line. Reviews of fragrance fans indicate that even time does not destroy the smell of perfume, and all thanks to the unique bottle. No, the “bottle” with the fragrance is not decorated with rhinestones and is not handmade, which would further increase its value. Pierre Montal created a container for his creations from real aluminum, which will preserve all the valuable qualities of the aromatic liquid. This design makes the appearance of the bottle progressive and modern, and at the same time, the container contains all the mystery of the East, perceived by the European master.
How much does Montale cost?
The price of a fragrance (especially if it is a "representative" of the mass market or luxury) is most often determined by how much money is spent on its advertising. However, with perfumery from Pierre Montal, the situation is different. No matter how you search, you won't find advertisements for his fragrances anywhere. Modelsand movie stars do not participate in promotions, and there is no need for the buyer to pay for their labor.
In addition, the perfumer's line is not available in well-known and frequently visited cosmetic stores, because Montale is a selective one. It is very difficult to determine which perfumes can be considered niche perfumes and which belong to luxury, but the fragrances from Pierre Montal definitely belong to the selective, that is, exquisite and unusual perfumes. Therefore, the price does not include marketing costs, and the cost consists solely of the price of the components and the work of the master. The average cost of 20 ml of fragrant elixir is at least 2,500 rubles, 50 ml - about 5,000. In fact, the price is affordable for many, but, of course, higher than the cost of popular advertised fragrances.
Where can I buy fragrances?
You can buy Montale in special shops with niche perfumes. As a rule, these are small boutiques selling exclusively selective goods. In addition, the fragrant liquid can also be ordered in online stores, but you risk paying a lot of money for a counterfeit.
It is still better to visit a niche perfumery boutique in your city and get to know the seller. As a rule, such people are connoisseurs of the “fragrant business” and, like a tailor, they can pick up the best “dress”-perfume for you by eye.
How to choose your scent?
If you decide to buy the Montale fragrance, the description of the perfume in text form will not help you much. The fact is that the smells from the creator of Pierre Montalso special and unique that they can not only fall in love with themselves, but also confuse, arouse hostility or shock. Do you like the sound of amber or musk on your skin? Will oriental restraint and languid sophistication of oud wood enchant? Will a rose from Nepal seem cloying? Therefore, you cannot rely solely on the description of the fragrance or on reviews on the Internet. But what if Montale is not sold in regular stores and is not available in the form of samples?
Drainers and Atomizers
Check out a few more terms from the world of fine perfumery that you can't do without when buying a selective. The fact is that even in niche boutiques there may not be testers of all types of perfume.
In this case, you can order an otlivant - a tiny amount of perfume (1-2 ml), poured into a special bottle (atomizer). The otlivants cost a little, and for only 200 rubles you can taste the exquisite perfume, test it in action, that is, on your skin, and after that buy Montale to your liking. In the meantime, we will still talk about the most famous smells.
Three fragrance lines
Montale perfumery is divided into three lines - women's, men's and unisex. Such a division is rather arbitrary, since many girls are madly in love with the men's "series". The greatest pride of the perfume house Pierre Montal considers fragrances created on the basis of essential oils, or rather, resin, oud wood. The fragrance of oud wood, which is also often mentioned in Holy Scripture, is unpleasant in its pure form andeven disgusting. However, its correct and moderate use in the perfumery of Pierre Montal makes the perfume unusually attractive and transports you to a forest, a flowery meadow or a mysterious garden. The smell that Montale's perfume has is so specific that even a person who is absolutely indifferent or insensitive to aromas can recognize Montale's "handwriting".
Montale Rose
If you are not indifferent to regal flowers, then you will definitely like the fragrances of Pierre Montale with the sweet "sound" of rose.
This is Aoud Amber Rose (Unisex), Aoud Queen Roses (Female), Candy Rose (Female), Deep Roses (Unisex), Rose Mukhalat (Unisex), Roses Musk (Unisex). Pierre Montal doesn't use a lot of ingredients to make a great perfume. As a rule, these are just a few components, but what! Rose joins in a whimsical dance with jasmine, musk and amber, fragrant and maddening.
Chocolate Jealousy
It's about Montale Chocolate Greedy. Do you love chocolate? Even if you are indifferent to sweet treats, you will not be able to remain indifferent when smelling this aroma! What does chocolate taste like? Bitter and sweet, milky-creamy or dark, soft melting and firm. All these facets are absorbed by Chocolate Greedy, while remaining restrained, not cloyingly sweet. The composition includes cocoa beans, orange and vanilla - a concise and amazing mixture.
Gold flowers
Montale Gold Flowers is not a complex fragrance at all and consists ofmusk, lily of the valley, amber and agar wood. But this composition is capable of doing something incredible, namely, taking you to an oriental harem, where laughing beauties slyly hide their faces under thin fabrics. This fragrance from the Montal perfume house is light and delightful.
Fruits of Cyprus
Every woman wants to be noticed by a man, but not everyone succeeds. Sometimes, neither a spectacular appearance nor bright makeup helps.
Use weapons like Chypre Fruite by Pierre Montal. The trail of this fragrance is able to turn the head of any representative of the stronger sex, make him headlong run after the mysterious seductress. The fragrance is composed of oakmoss, bergamot, jasmine, rose, musk and citrus fruits.
Sky in the clouds
Do you like in the summer, sitting comfortably on the green grass, watching the clouds rushing across the sky and the ball of the sun setting over the horizon? These moments can be very happy, especially if the warmed grass smells delicious, and the fresh breeze blows on your face, bringing with it the aromas of fields and forests. If now it is winter outside, then the aroma of the perfume house "Montal" Embruns d'essaouira will help you to be transferred to such a cozy atmosphere. This perfume brings together sandalwood, vanilla, musk, spices and iodine from sea water. This bouquet is exquisite and delightful, and despite its apparent simplicity, will create a real miracle. It will seem to you that clouds are sweeping over you, and you are in a calm summer evening.
Should I buy Montale?
Nounequivocal answer about the choice of a particular perfume. It doesn't matter how old you are, what your status or financial situation is. Rather, it is more a matter of taste and level of culture. Sooner or later, fashionable smells get bored, and you want something different. And no wonder, because the mass market is designed to please customers, but not to excite the mysterious feelings and instincts. In addition, traditional perfumery is made on the basis of the rules of cheapening, that is, one milliliter of perfume should cost as little as possible. We are not even talking about high-quality synthetic raw materials, since they turn out to be expensive. Therefore, the novelties of the perfume world coming off the assembly line are attractive, like Christmas decorations, and smell delicious, but they will not reveal your individuality and inimitability. Only exquisite selectives can help here, which are made, like a custom-made dress, according to your own measurements.
Montal will help you become yourself, try on a new image that will make you brighter than any outfit. Of course, such pleasure costs money. However, if you are not ready to spend them, then you should not even go to a niche perfumery boutique. Otherwise, only after trying the fragrances from Pierre Montale, you will fall in love with them forever.
