Do you like delicious smells? If so, then this article will be of interest to you, because it will discuss Montale fragrances. Reviews about the perfumes of this brand are the most laudatory, so let's try to figure out what is the secret to the success of the brand.
Pierre Montal
If you set out to find information about the creator of the brand, you will be surprised how few biographical data on Pierre Montale are on the Internet.
This French perfumer before the Montal brand was founded, for a long time developed individual fragrances for customers. Just looking at a person, he determined his preferences and interests and created a unique smell suitable for him. For three years, the perfumer worked in the countries of the Middle East, creating odors for dignitaries. The local culture and natural features inspired Pierre Montale to create his own line of aromas. Returning to France, the perfumer developed the Montale brand, reviews of which were and remain the most flattering. Why so?
Oriental tale
The fact is that Montale perfumes are a unique mix of oriental tradition and modern French vision. If you have been to the Arabian Peninsula or you have “tasted” the local aromas-attars, then you know that oriental perfume is a delicate matter. Firstly, alcohol is practically not used in Arab spirits . Durability of perfumes is ensured by correctly selected components of oils of special types of wood, and what resistance! Arab perfumery gives a fragrance even for more than one day, while modern fashionable aromas from store shelves last only a few hours.
The second feature of oriental spirits is the brightness of the smell. Arabs put all possible expression and passion into their perfumes, and therefore, having barely felt the smell of perfumes, you are transported into an oriental tale. It is not surprising that Montale fragrances, although French, are made in Arabian traditions. Pierre Montal could not fail to fall in love with the Arabian flavor over the years of work, and therefore brought a note of the mysterious and mystical East to his creations. And what happened in the end? Montale perfumes have a light and pleasant sound, which is immediately recognizable and never forgotten.
Features Montale
Reviews of perfumes from Pierre Montail are almost all laudatory, but what is the secret of the master? As mentioned above, Montal managed to recreate the best oriental traditions in the European format. Despite the best traditions of creation, Arabian perfumes are still very specific. Someone will say that such spirits are difficult to perceive and strangle. Montale fragrances do not have this drawback. The perfume from the master has pronounced oriental motifs due to the use of raw materials traditional for Arab spirits.
In addition, Pierre Montal does not abuse alcohol, providing its works with durability thanks to the essential oils of plants, wood and flowers. You will hear jasmine, rose, aloe, ambergris, frankincense, osudov tree, 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 train.
Unusual packaging
How do you imagine the appearance of an expensive perfume? After all, “Montal” refers to the selective, and therefore, must have a proper “robe”.
Meanwhile, the creator of the brand came up with a completely different packaging format for the Montale line. Reviews of fans of aromas indicate that even time does not ruin the smell of perfume, and all thanks to a unique bottle. No, the “bottles” with the aroma are not decorated with rhinestones and not made by hand, 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 a fragrant liquid. This design makes the appearance of the bottle progressive and modern, and at the same time, the capacity keeps all the sacrament 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 a mass market or a luxury) is most often determined by how much money is spent on its advertising. However, perfumery from Pierre Montale is different. You will not find anywhere advertising his fragrances, no matter how you look. Models and movie stars do not participate in promotions, and there is no need for the buyer to pay for their work.
In addition, there are no perfumer lines in well-known and frequently visited cosmetic stores, because Montale is selective. It is very difficult to determine which perfumes can be considered niche perfumes and which belong to luxury, but the scents from Pierre Montail are definitely selective, that is, refined and unusual perfumes. Therefore, marketing costs are not included in the price, but the cost is made up solely of the price of components and the work of the master. The average cost of 20 ml of fragrant elixir is at least 2500 rubles, 50 ml - about 5000. In fact, the price is affordable for many, but, of course, higher than the cost of popular advertised aromas.
Where can I buy fragrances?
You can buy Montale in specialty stores with niche perfumes. As a rule, these are small boutiques that sell exclusively selective. In addition, aromatic liquid can also be ordered in online stores, but you run the risk of paying a lot of money in general for counterfeit goods.
It’s better to visit a niche perfume boutique in your city and get to know the seller. As a rule, such people are subtle connoisseurs of the "fragrant business" and, like a tailor, they can pick you the best "dress" perfume.
How to choose your own fragrance?
If you decide to buy Montale, a perfume description in text form will not help you much. The fact is that the smells from the creator of Pierre Montail are so special and unique that they can not only fall in love with themselves, but also embarrass, cause hostility or shock. Do you like the sound of ambergris or musk on your skin? Will oriental restraint and languid sophistication of an oud tree fascinate? Would a sugary rose from Nepal show up? Therefore, you can’t rely solely on the description of the fragrance or on reviews on the Internet. But what if Montale is not sold in ordinary stores and is not presented as samplers?
Otlivants and atomizers
Get acquainted with a few more terms from the world of exquisite perfumes, without which you can not do when buying a selector. The fact is that even in niche boutiques there may not be testers of all kinds of perfume.
In this case, you can order otlivant - a tiny amount of perfume (1-2 ml), poured into a special bottle (atomizer). Otlivants cost little, and for only 200 rubles you can try an exquisite perfume, try it in practice, that is, on your skin, and after that you can already get Montale to your liking. Meanwhile, we still talk about the most famous smells.
Three lines of aromas
Montale perfumery is divided into three lines - women's, men's and unisex. This division is rather arbitrary, since many girls are madly in love with the men's “series”. The greatest pride of the perfumery house Pierre Montal considers aromas created on the basis of essential oils, or rather, resin, wood ud. The aroma of an oud tree, which is also often mentioned in Holy Scripture, is unpleasant in its pure form and even causes disgust. However, its correct and moderate use in Pierre Montail's perfumes makes the perfume unusually attractive and transfers to the forest, to a flower glade or to a mysterious garden. The smell, which has a perfume from Montale, is so specific that even a person who is completely indifferent or insensitive to aromas can recognize Montale's "handwriting".
Montale rose
If you are not indifferent to regal colors, then you will surely like the scents of Pierre Montail with the sweet “sound” of a rose.
These are Aoud Amber Rose (unisex), Aoud Queen Roses (female), Candy Rose (female), Deep Roses (unisex), Rose Mukhalat (unisex), Roses Musk (unisex). Pierre Montal does not use a large number of ingredients to create a magnificent perfume. As a rule, these are just a few components, but which ones! Rosa unites in a fancy dance with jasmine, musk and ambergris, fragrant and driving others crazy.
Chocolate jealousy
We will talk about the aroma of Montale Chocolate Greedy. Do you like chocolate? Even if you are indifferent to a sweet delicacy, you cannot remain indifferent by smelling this aroma! What does chocolate taste like? Bitter and sweet, milky creamy or dark, softly melting and hard. Chocolate Greedy has incorporated all these facets, remaining at the same time restrained, and not cloyingly sweet. The composition includes cocoa beans, orange and vanilla - a laconic and amazing mixture.
Golden flowers
Montale Gold Flowers is not at all a complex aroma in composition and consists of musk, lily of the valley, ambergris and agar tree. But this composition is capable of accomplishing the incredible, namely, transferring you to the eastern harem, where laughing beauties craftyly hide their faces under thin fabrics. This fragrance of the Montal perfumery house is light and delicious.
Cyprus fruits
Every woman wants to be seen by a man, but not everyone succeeds. Sometimes neither spectacular appearance nor bright makeup helps.
Use weapons such as Pierre Montal’s Chypre Fruite. The train of this fragrance is capable of turning the head of any representative of the stronger sex, making him headlong to run after the mysterious seducer. The aroma is composed of oak moss, bergamot, jasmine, rose, musk and citrus fruits.
Sky in the clouds
Do you like in summer, comfortably sitting 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 a fresh breeze blows around your face, bringing with it the aromas of fields and forests. If it’s winter outside the window, then the fragrance of the Montbrum perfume house Embruns d'essaouira will help you get into such a cozy atmosphere. This perfume contains sandalwood, vanilla, musk, spices and iodine from sea water. This bouquet is sophisticated and delightful, and despite its apparent simplicity, it will create a real miracle. It will seem to you that clouds are flying over you, and you are in a calm summer evening.
Should I buy Montale?
There is no definite answer regarding the choice of this or that perfume. It does not matter how old you are, what is your status or financial situation. Rather, it is more a matter of taste and level of culture. Sooner or later, fashionable smells bore, and I want something else. And no wonder, because the mass market is designed to delight customers, but not to excite mysterious feelings and instincts. In addition, traditional perfumes are made on the basis of cheapening rules, that is, one milliliter of perfume should cost as cheap as possible. We are not even talking about high-quality synthetic raw materials, since they are also expensive. Therefore, the perfumery world’s novelties coming off the assembly line are attractive, like Christmas tree decorations, and smell delicious, but they will not reveal your personality and inimitability in any way. Only exquisite selectives can help here, which are made like a custom-made dress by your own standards.
Montal will help you become yourself, try on a new image that will make you brighter than any outfit. Of course, such a pleasure costs money. However, if you are not ready to spend it, then you should not even go to a niche perfume boutique. Otherwise, just having tasted the scents from Pierre Montail, you will fall in love with them forever.
