    I wore this years ago. More aldehydic than Farnesiana and Une Fleur de Cassie with a richer dry down. Agree with ellizam that it reads like a Chanel. coriander, bitter orange, mimosa, jasmine,...

    Farnesia meets Parfum Sacre, with a touch of Nocturnes. This is a Caron, but almost has the feel of a Chanel - too many natural notes, identifiable blocks, for a Chanel, but close. There's...

    The perfume I have could not be more different that what is described in these glowing reviews and on Basenotes, where most people also liked it; it makes me wonder if I got a fake or a bad batch....

    Caron's Montaigne is one of my long-lasting love affairs. It was a blind buy some years ago. My first sniff transported me to the beaches of my childhood when sun-tan oils had an orangey smell...

    This reminds me of Bitter orange drizzle cake. The sponge made with good quality butter, eggs and vanilla, dense and yummy. Then flavoured with a syrup of bitter Seville oranges, which prevents...

    Perfume is so personal but I have found that if you wear something, and time and time again, people compliment you on the fragrance..it is a pretty good match. Anytime I wear this I usually get...

    Montaigne is classic haute-French parfumerie with a capital "C." Step back in time to an era where perfume smelled, well, perfumey, top-loaded with sizzling aldehydes and a bullet bra of white...

    Beautiful is what comes to mind. I get spices at first then a lot of jasmine with some rose. I like it, I think my mom would love this. Reminds me of something she would wear.. and she usually...

    I am speaking of the original formulation here, not the recent reformulation. This is a beautiful womanly perfume and I just love it. It makes me feel so grown up and mysterious. It's citrusy...

    Funny, this one works on me. I get a aldehydic, delicious powdery bitter orange that smells French, formal and expensive. Many many Caron's don't work on me, so maybe since this one does, it...

    Dull fragrance. Re-formulation has harmed it. I supposwe I will have to stop buying Caron parfums soon, because most of them are only a shadow of their old selves. Very deplorable. This Montaigne...

    This review is of the Eau de Toilet, in the current formulation. <br></br> It's a sweet, light floral that comes off as rather distant and disinterested. The base notes are quite long lived,...

    This is currently one of the Caron urn fragrances, and re-issued in EDP at Saks. Why would they have discontinued it? It smells amazing! I think it's for the sophisticated perfume wearer who...

    Caron has everything that's good about 80's perfumes.It's full bodied, not shy and the kind of sexiness that would very much remind us of the young Kathleen Turner in Body Heat or Theressa Russel...

    I got a great deal on this, one of those deals you can't let get passed you. I got it unsniffed. While I waited for it to ship I read the reiews. I was convinced I was going to have to swap this...

    They were out of the Montaigne parfum at Caron in NYC this holiday season and I heard quite a few laments in the store. To me this is one of the more wearable Carons, yet still dark, unique and...

    Classic fragrance, rather perfumey but never, ever unpleasant. If I wore fur, this is the perfume I'd choose to go with it. I smell jasmine mostly, with some citrus peeking through, a dash of...

    Montaigne is an utterly glorious, indulgent fragrance. Rnornan is right on the money when she compares this to Micallef's Hiver -- they are very similar, except that Montaigne is far less sharp...
