    very nice old fashioned fragrance. montana parfum d homme is a classic 80’s scent not so easy to wear nowadays but with a great quality inside. the notes more prominent on my skin are leather, oakmoss, aldehydes and patchuli. i cant smell any tobacco here but it’s only my opinion. the leather on me is quite strong, more similar to the one in valentino vendetta, which i consider more juicy and seductive but a bit dated too. the oakmoss is also very detectable. it’s a warm cozy scent, like a coat in november, perfect for autumn and winter. performance is very good, projects well and the longevity is almost 7-8 hours. it’s not for young people, fits better for someone over 40. which movie or tv character it reminds me? well, someone old school yet ironic, like lt. Frank Columbo played by the great Peter Falk.
    the review is based on a vintage bottle, i heard it has been reformulated by selective beauties or another company, cant remember. however, it seems the reformulated version is good too but i never tested it so far.
    gemma dal passato.

    A highly-intelligent 80s-style fragrance that successfully blends into something far greater than its individual elements …
    Reviewer Redbeard (9-25-14) suggested the 24-note composition might be ‘overconstructed’ and I have to respect the opinion. However what’s groundbreaking is how Flechier’s composition borrows from and compliments various fragrance ‘genres,’ and is therefore more than just a leather classification. Montana feels like an aromatic (much like Quorum), an oriental (think Jacomo de Jacomo), a chypre (along the lines of Gianfranco Ferre for Man), and a fougere (ala Azzaro) and succeeds as both a traditional and alternative scent in an altogether satisfying package.
    A cosmopolitan retro-80s masculine that’s an aromatic and herbaceous delight for one’s senses.

    First and foremost- a big thank you to Chris from ScentLand who made it possible for me to experience this outstanding fragrance. Just like his channel Montana PdH is totally UNDER THE RADAR! I would go as far as to say this fragrance could be included in a category called “old-school niche”. Why “old-school niche” you might ask…well it’s from back in the day and only those in the know have the privilege to own it as it is anything but mainstream. How a fragrance so well blended and at this price point only has <300 ratings is beyond me. Montana PdH has no remnants of what the inexperienced nose would describe as “old” “dated” “80s” and so on that many beautiful old-school fragrances undeservingly get slapped with. The blending of the notes is supreme. No rough edges. Perfectly wearable today. For anyone debating whether to get this fragrance- please do yourselves a favour and get this fragrance if you are still on the fence! Let me reiterate- it is practically IMPOSSIBLE to find a fragrance with this quality at this price.
    As an aside I also have Aramis Havana and the comparison is a bit overreaching. Havana is a supreme tobacco (soft leaf tobacco I must add!) fragrance which provides a different perspective on tobacco by moving away from the dry “smoking” type of tobacco and bringing in the “cigar” tobacco variety. Excellent in its own right but not an alternative to Montana PdH.

    MPdH seems to me almost more than a leather fragrance, a dark and very smoky fern due to that mossy background, for me, it represents the reflection of a dark and dark, gloomy forest, just like a punk makeup, painted, full of piercings, wristbands leather and black dress, all this, sequestered in the bottom of a bottle of perfume, as in a time capsule.
    The amalgam of notes that compose it does not cease to amaze me, this makes it a faithful and more than “worthy” reflection of the era in which it was created, late 80’s, without a doubt, the baroque era of perfumery.
    Attributes like demodé, outdated, but with a lot of class, masculine, powerful, with three well-marked phases, to the classic, I find it just as wonderful as “parfum de peau”.

    Montana Parfum d’Homme – I blind bought this fragrance after consuming a bottle of its flanker – Montana Black 125 ml – in just 2 months. I also bought another bottle of Montana Black.
    This is a fantastic and manly EDT (EDP?), superb quality, spetacular scent, magnific blending of notes, super sexy, imensely versatile (but not for the summer), with the dominant Leather and Aldehydes notes splendidly masterized.
    If you find this fragrance for a nice price… do not hesitate; just blind buy it!
    The Leather feels kind of cold and dry probably due to the strong Aldehydes opening and the pine needles of the heart notes.
    Its performance is above average with 8 hours + longevity, 3~4 feet peack sillage and average projection in the first 3 hours.
    The leather dry down is superb. Vanilla and cinnamon do add a sweet touch to the dry down,
    It’s a bit retro but I love it this way.

    A crisp, clear Fall day in Texas in the 60’s. Wore Montana Homme Eau de Toilet yesterday in anticipation of the Holidays and cooler weather. Love it as I always did. Masculine, strong, linear and rich. Very glad to have a big 125ml bottle. It is a Selective Beauty bottle made in Italy. Let me just say WOW! Today I smell this so strong still on yesterday’s shirt. The intoxicating, pleasant, and unique scent of my favorite ingredient: OAK MOSS.
    If you want to know what real oakmoss smells like in perfumery…it is the next day dry down on a cotton shirt of Montana Pour Homme. They DO NOT make them like this any more. No sir. Incredible!

    Took a chance on this scent as I found it a safe and cheap blind buy. I took this chance after reading some great reviews on here and checking out the notes. After receiving it two days ago and giving it a wear, all I can say is simply; Montana is a steal and really a scent not to sleep on!
    The opening of Montana is a nice burst of aldehydes, mandarin orange, cinnamon, lavender and leather and it is STRONG, almost bracing. The overture is further punched up with some tarragon and pine needles. Montana begins swirling notes and passing from spicy, to green, to slightly floral, it’s an intriguing mix and keeps the wearer pleased and engaged. This scent then brings on this wave of cool carnation, pepper and incense. At this point Montana announces itself as no one trick pony! The bergamot and lemon then kick in to give this scent some freshness and some added brightness. The range of this scent cannot be applauded enough. Lastly, we are met with a smooth floral/earthy and sandalwood finish that compliments the bombastic opening.
    I think there is a time when we as collectors and appreciators of these great fragrances lose a bit of our zeal or our passion for fragrances (at least I do from time to time) and by just taking a page from the past we can find a bit of inspiration. Montana did this for me, I was stuck in a bit of a fougere rut (It isn’t a bad thing) I was stuck with similar clean barbershop finishes and it got a bit old. Montana jarred my olfactory senses lose and really made me rearrange my scent wardrobe.
    Montana can be worn by guys in their mid twenties and up. Montana can be worn in the office or for a day on the town. Think sweater weather with this scent, a thick fabric will hold the scent even longer as well as warm it on the skin! Price alone should encourage you to take a chance on this one, but the quality and creativity that awaits you on the other end of that sprayer is the real surprise and reason! Give this scent a spray when you just listened to three great tracks from your twenties over a nice strong cup of coffee and you’re headed off on a weekend stroll or mini adventure.

    First of all, this doesn’t remind me of Havana by Aramis. The only connection for me is the richness and the tobacco. The personality is quite different.
    Havana is quite harsh and smells ‘contraband’ – it makes me think of cigars and rum. Montana is smooth and woody, and it’s rich but is very very dry.
    This one took a little while to grow on me. It has a ‘boxy’ smell, might be sandalwood but is quite pushy and cloying. In order to get it I had to spray a lot on – about 7 or 8 sprays which is a lot for me. When you do this, it becomes an enveloping, classy experience that is very soft and cosy. It’s a great blend – there’s a lot in there, but essentially it has a cozy sweet warmth which is similar to Lagerfeld classic. But it’s much more manly. There’s definitely prominent woodiness there which suits the name and design.
    It’s been on my clothes for about an hour now and I’ve placed the smell – it smells like bonfire smoke on your clothing. Imagine you’re at a campfire in a pristine forest, you step away and stand by a lake, it’s a summer evening, there’s a fragrant floral breeze, and you catch a sniff of your smokey jumper – that smells like Montana Parfum d’homme
    Classy and interesting fragrance. For me it was a grower.

    Montana Parfum d’Homme, on the surface, is a spicy aromatic fragrance with an emphasis on the herbal-spicy aspects. It’s difficult to discern it in terms of notes, as it is densely blended and very well-crafted; there is a floral note in there, but is wrapped in all the dense, green and dry elements, and an accord that hints at tobacco and leather. On my skin this tobacco-leather accord takes over after the initial burst of spices, and persists into the later stages of dry down, where it becomes more leathery. This is leather component is spicy, rustic, akin to spices and tobacco wrapped in leather, and there is a green element that accompanies throughout, eventually revealing a slight mossy character. On my skin Parfum d’Homme lasts a good six hours, and sillage is close but persistent.
    Parfum d’Homme appears very similar to Havana, one of my favourites, but there are some differences. Havana is oilier, while Parfum d’Homme is more dry. Havana has a greater emphasis on tobacco, even more dense and spicy (prominent bay), and the tobacco makes Havana just a tad sweeter (relatively). Parfum d’Homme is slightly more refined in demeanour, and the leather is more pronounced in the late development.
    Parfum d’Homme is an excellent choice for anyone looking to spice up slightly their daily perfuming regimen.
    3.5/5 (positive)

    An absolute, utter masterpiece! Its a more playful version of Aramis Havana, allowing it more space to play more facets. Stunning spices, florals and tobacco. It simply cant get any better. Performance is brilliant. The perfect juice!

    A blind buy again.
    I was a little bit dubious but after a few tries it has really grown on me. It’s a very complex composition. I’m sorry but I’m still learning from the very interesting descriptions and reviews here. A fragrance like this has so many notes it’s still quite difficult for me to say what stands out. I find it very sweet, floral, fruity, with a small hint of spices in the background.
    It’s definitely something from the late 80’s. Had it been made in the 70’s it would be Givenchy Gentlemen. But this one smells less macho and more contemporary. If it had been made 20 years later it would have ended up smelling like Spice Bomb. Luckily, what we have here is a much softer offering, much more wearable, much more elegant. And on top of that it has the “Montana” label. Which reminds me of this great designer.
    I’m not quite sure about the sillage and longevity though. I hope the small prices found on the internet don’t mean we are buying old batches that have turned bad and have poor performance. But I don’t regret the purchase.

    This is an extraordinary example what a productive, experimental timeframe the late 80’s were for perfumery. Some of the releases from this period offer such unique and distinct forms that put even the most ‘daring’ contemporary stuff into place. Some time ago, I read a review on Parfum d’Homme who’s author I cannot find anymore – to paraphrase what this excellent review said, that Parfum d’Homme is a truly multidimensional fragrance, a scent that manages to entangle the most diametrically opposite directions in accords, notes, and molecules with ease and that does smell like all these different directions at the same time. It does this brilliantly and showcases what a genius Edouard Fléchier is. Good news also is that the current formulation – or that of most of the bottles that are floating around, is really very close to the first version. Highest Recommendation and if someone where knows that review I mention, it would be good to read this again !

    Oh, gosh! Has Montana Parfum d’Homme gone discontinued? I’m asking because I can see there are few units for sale on ebay and, in that case, I will have to stock up on, at least, two bottles of this wonderful perfume.
    I hope this juice never abandons the shelves at all; that would be a sad loss for masculine perfumery.

    This scent ticks all the right boxes.
    Montana evolves and lasts, a mixture of notes that, to me, is slightly herby, slightly citric, slightly oakmossy etc it manages to combine some of the best of 70’s fragrances but not smell dated. It’s Havana via Tuscany but with more depth than both of those.
    One I go back to regularly and a great all rounder.

    The more often I wear this fragrance, the more I come to respect its complexity and quality. It’s warm, herbal-spicy, and very dry. To my nose, the primary opening note is an anisic aldehyde, with little citrus elements despite what the ingredients indicate. This peppery anise note slowly gives way to a very nice subtle Nag Champa incense element, with a hint of pine needles. A little later the leather base notes start to evolve. Altogether: a very classy, natural fragrance. Sillage isn’t overpowering, and the longevity didn’t seem great until I realized how long it lasts on clothing: within 5 or 6 hours on my body it’s just a skin scent, but it lingers noticeably on my clothes for quite a bit longer.
    I know that both the creator and manufacturer are French, but Montana pour Homme seems to me to be more of a classic, expensive Italian fragrance. More like Rome than Paris. Specifically, a warm summer’s day in Rome.
    If you give Montana pour Homme a chance, I suspect that you will appreciate the quality of ingredients and knowledgeable, delicate touch that went into assembling this intelligent and complex fragrance.

    Well blended, very rich in notes perfume. For me it’s more of a summer fragrance, because for winter I prefer something darker. But I totally see it as a allyear perfume. As many here, I see some similarities with Aramis Havana, only Montana is more subtle. Love them both. By the way, in the deep drydown both of them have some similarities to Francesco Smalto PH drydown.
    Good longevity and sillage, nice price. Recommended. I will search for repurchase, when my 125ml bottle will end.

    Wearing this side-by-side with Aramis Havana today. I would say Montana is smoother and seems very well blended. With Havana, the patchouli and perhaps tobacco are much more prominent. Both fragrances are quite nice and masculine. Of the two, I would say Montana is less likely to be offensive. Personally, I also don’t think these two fragrances are so much alike that it would be redundant to have them both. However, I have a full size of Montana and will happily stick with it.

  23. :

    4 out of 5

    My very quick initial impression is that this does indeed smell VERY similar to Aramis Havana. Very nice, masculine scent. I will actually compare these side-by-side soon, so I will try to report back.
    UPDATE: Just wanted to add that I do realize that Montana came first, so it’s actually Havana that smells very similar to Montana. Plus, they rhyme! Haha.

    Just recieved the after shave balm made in France… Love it!
    Like a freshly washed no detergent clean white t-shirt dried in the crisp cool breeze…
    And a bit of leather. Make sence? Anyway, it’s a very good manly fragrance.

    To add…One of the nicest spicy/soapy fragrances out there. Similar to Krizia Uomo and GBH Red. Lovely smell!

    Everyone loves this one to pieces, so I had to try a little. Golden, ambery cinnamon is the first thing I catch, with some clove for backup and a strong undercurrent of florals. I also find the burn of lavender if I sniff deeply, but overall the top isn’t very astringent. After just testing Peterman 1903, the waxiness is also apparent in Montana, even though it’s a lot brigher here and less strong. I can already tell that the honey-like shrillness of the amber, while not terribly bad, is eventually going to be too much for me. It’s not quite the same as Caron’s Third Man, but the effect is the same for me. I find a little bit of the musty, fetid, decaying foliage that I remember from Tsar and other dirty, smoky green fragrances, but again not a whole lot of it. Each whiff is just so heavy overall that it gets tiresome. Finally, in the base, I’m surprised to encounter soap: specifically the type of soap with strong enough fragrance to give me that fizzy, tingly feeling up my nose. Plus, I finally just caught the rose, which I had probably been overlooking all along. It just seems over-constructed, and it doesn’t make me think of Havana.

    Today, I had the chance to smell this fragrance again, and I found myself with fond memories and a growing love for the eighties perfumes.
    Montana Parfum d’Homme is synonymous with class and elegance; it has the same force and masculinity that is typical of fragrances such as Kouros, Quorum, and others, but it is softer, less dense, and less “aggressive”, which gives it great versatility and allows it to be used by, even, 25 year-old men. Fern, wood, and spices live together in perfect harmony with vanilla and citrus. I’m amazed by the fact that such an outstanding juice is sold at a cheap price, and that’s why it is really worth buying a full bottle of.
    Again, what an amazing fragrance!

    aromatic citruses give way to spicy leather/ tobacco
    same wave lenght of Quorum or say Polo green but less intrusive, same time capsule….
    but if looking for a trip in the golden ages of old school scents this is one way to go…..
    soothing and relaxing,
    i love it to get back and groove on a summer evening!

    Don’t you think that Alice Cooper looks like Marilyn Manson a lot? You know, the “freakish dude with a female name persona, who performs some outrageous theatrical shows” thing. What? Alice Cooper came first? So? Montana also came first (a good five years before, which is ages in perfume years) but that doesn’t stop people from keep saying how much it resembles Havana. I think that merely out of respect, whenever a benchmark has to be set, then this place should be always granted to the one that came first. So no, if a perfume reminds of another one, then it’s Havana that reminds of Montana and not the other way around.
    Now, I don’t know why, but when I first smelled Montana back in the day, the first word that came to mind was “bright”. In the sense of a young, aspiring individual, to whom everyone wants to be close, but in the same time all (myself included) secretly despise him. Perhaps because in this age, he is already something that they will never be. Clever but not know-it-all, charming but not wheedling, cultivated but not aloof, rich but not showoffish and eloquent but not verbose, all-in-one. Oh, and stunningly beautiful too, as the icing on this delicious cake. All in an unconventional way, light years away from everything mainstream. Like a long-haired dude wearing mirror shades and a claret velvet sport jacket, who drives a Lancia, and doesn’t give a damn about what others might think of him. And when he smiles he outshines the sun.
    Then our ways parted for some 20 years, in my neverending struggle to find this totally unique scent that is the Holy Grail for every perfume lover or freak. Until, not being able to resist its 15€/125ml price, there came a day when I found myself looking skeptically at the red box that was staring back at me from my coffee table. “What are you?” I asked… “Don’t you remember?” it replied… The answer came in a split second after spraying some on my wrist. “Bright! How could I forget?” And then I sat and pondered for a whole afternoon, trying to figure why people so often spend years in a quest for something that was before their very eyes from the start.
    As for those who are probably wondering, the aforementioned “stunningly beautiful” part is not just about the perfume. I know I’m a minority (if not the sole believer), but I find its bottle simply gorgeous! Like an iconic piece of contemporary art, which is a joy to hold and a blast to behold! The proof that The Tower of Babel could be completed in perfection, no matter how many languages were spoken on its grounds. They couldn’t be more than Montana’s notes after all! A most fitting vessel for one of the most unique perfumes ever…

    “Let. There. Be. Light.”
    Montana Parfum D’Homme LIGHT ! (Yes, there’s a light version)…
    It’s an Eau de Toilette that comes in a gray “tower of babel” splash bottle in a Red Box. I can describe it as a stripped down, “air conditioned” version of Parfum D’Homme. With moderate performance for an EDT. Great for those who may want to wear Parfum D’Homme year round.
    “Light” turns up the aldehydes and lavender, and turns down the herbs and spices of the original… Significantly. But carnation, pine, cinnamon, and even incense are still detectable to my nose. Although a lot less dense. There’s not much “development” here to speak of etiher. But the macho character of the original -with it’s labdanum, ambergris, and leather backbone, remains (mostly) intact. Happy that ! That slight animalic quality is what gives this warm weather scent it’s unique Caché.
    As for the legendary rugged “leather jacket man” imagery of the original? Sadly, this version just doesn’t have the same impact. At best, the luminous glow of aldehydes may allude to the “brilliant” mind of the man inside the jacket, instead. LOL. But hey! If you already have the “brawn” of the Original… wouldn’t you want the “brains” to go with it?
    Recommended.
    Especially since a 75ml bottle of this gem goes for $15 USD (in 2014). $15? For the Quality in this, that’s just BONKERS !!

    This one opens very sharp green/citric. I caught a hint of pine and cinnamon but that was very brief. Now the lemon is shining bright….damn…now its mixing with some flower and the pine is back. I cant keep up with this one. After a few minutes, a mix of pine and carnation are the only two players but then a little while later a dry leather shows up. Minutes later cinnamon shows up to blend nicely with the leather. Into the drydown, I get some other flower mixing with the leather nicely.
    This one really needs a few full wearing to accurately describe it. Its way to complex to skin test it. Overall, to me its a younger smelling ‘old mans scent.’ Along the lines of Sung Homme. Not bad.

    This juice… is quasi–impossible to find it in my corner of Europe…
    So, I ordered it from the US… I waited for three weeks… lazy three long weeks… until today!
    Long live the king!
    Last time when I wore Montana was the beginning of the ’90. It was good, but I was too young for such a fragrance. Meeting today, once again, that crazy bottle, it was like meeting an old pal. So simple! So profound! So powerful!
    Montana is the scent for a man who quietly accepts the nerve of manliness. Don’t tell me that it was create in 1989 – in 2089 a real man will be the same. And surely he will need an odour. MPd’H will be just perfect, as today.
    Sweeter than the spanish Quorum, crispier than Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui, bitter than the first Gucci Pour Homme… In a single word: eternal.
    A deserved 9+/10.

    I’ve worn this fragrance for a few days. It’s is wonderful but I think meant more for cooler weather. It is herbaceous with fresh citrus & frankincense/light galbanum in the open.
    Although I can’t tell what kind of floral notes are in this I detect some floral sweetness right after the opening when the beautiful sharp lemon note and galbanum begin to fade just a touch. Due to the unique combination of ingredients I get the sense of a dry chamomile tea type scent as well. It’s is humid yet airy, herb fresh, and slightly bitter (from the great lemon note) at the same time.
    For me this dries down to something similar to the smell of satchels of dried yard flower potpourri but not floral sweet (due to the patchouli, pine, oakmoss, cinnamon & dry wood) with the wonderful citrus touched bitter chamomile from the heart of the fragrance lingering softly over a faint leather and balmy incense.
    I really enjoy this scent. this is a rare lightly spiced citrus & incense fragrance that works in the summer – as long as it’s not humid or too hot. It is slightly dark (earthy).
    If it is this comfortable to wear in warm (dry) weather I can’t wait to try it in the cool autumn months.

    I love both Quorum by Antonio Puig and Witness by Jacques Bogart: Montana Parfum d’Homme smells like the offspring of both. I have only had this cologne for a few weeks, but it is already one of my absolute favourites. It is rich, leathery and spicy – an almost perfect combination. The sharpness found in Quorum is softened in MP d’H and the spiciness of Witness is enhanced by the leather. It projects well and lasts a long time on the skin.

    When I first smelled this in 1994, I didn’t like it. It just struck me as acrid and shrill. I bought a bottle blind this week online to give it a second go. I’d learned from revisiting fragrances I’d previously rejected that my ability to appreciate perfumes had matured a great deal since the 90s. What this shows me is that smell is as much a cognitive process as it is a sensorial experience. It is about memory, imagination, reason and much more besides. I got my new bottle yesterday and I am utterly gobsmacked at how much I love this scent. It is so densely layered. It isn’t just a smell, it’s a state of being, like all your favorite scents should be. It is not subtle, so if that’s what you’re looking for, keep looking. It is very much an emblem of its era, but it still manages to be poised, defiant, and insistent all at the same time. It absolutely makes a statement, but it does so in a very articulate manner. Moreover, it speaks not with the hubris of a brash upstart, but with the mischief of a patrician black sheep.

    I bought this fragrance because it was so high rated on this site and at a such low cost on Amazon. It was one of my first purchases as I started to get into the hobby of collecting colognes. When i first smelled it I thought wow this smells like something an old man would wear. However much like beer after a while you begin to appreciate the fine taste of good craftsmanship and learn to discern what makes something “good” or “bad”. Nevertheless as time went on I began to collect more colognes ex: more main stream Polo Blue or Saint Laurent Lanuit Del’Homme and I began to learn what makes good cologne. So a year after buying it I finally was able to appreciate and wear this fine cologne. Though it is old school “80’s powerhouse ish” this is a diverse and fine cologne. If you wear it with confidence it can have great results. Lots of women have complimented me on it (Im 21 years old in college). So all in all I am glad I made this purchase even though it took me a while to appreciate it, it was great buy. Would recommend to all who are starting a collection.

    Fresh spicy definitely comes to mind most, out of all of the accords. Projection is fantastic, I can really smell the leather on the drydown, my brother says he can really smell the cinnamon. My girlfriend loves this fragrance due to it’s masculinity, fantastic power in the bedroom as well as impressing friends and family. Compliments ahoy.

    Did anyone know that the perfumer of this fragrance is the same who created Davidoff Original in 1984? Edouard Flechier! Two very good masculine fragrances to say the least!
    I agree that this is more of an aromatic fougere than a leather scent. Like Francesco Smalto pour homme there is a lot going on in this frag. It starts with a lemon-lavender that smells so good as it is surrounded by aldehydes, cinnamon, lavender, mandarin orange, tarragon, pepper and bergamot. Delicious opening! One of the best smelling openings for me.
    After that the flowers kick in with pine tree needles and sage which give it a green-spicy touch that defines the heart stage of this fragrance. The masculine basenotes eg. with leather, patchouli, ambergris and oakmoss end up this frag into a real 80’s ubermasculine frag! I would not say a powerhouse, though it qualifies for it first hour, but after that the blend that is left is too smooth to define this frag as a powerhouse. Real good noses can get a lot out of this fragrance I guess as there is so much going on. Not many frags are lemony, green, floral, spicy, smokey, soapy, leathery, herbal and mossy in one! Montana has it all! This fragrance is very versatile as it mellows down after one hour and the smell lingering around you is hard
