Reviews of Montana pour Homme (2001)
by Montana

This is some refreshing stuff that I imagine would be great during any time of the year. I may give this one further testing but despite having a powerful blast the fragrance seemed to fade quickly. Perhaps more sprays will correct this problem but I didn't spray too much since the sprayer is like a fire hose in the amount it expels. The smell itself is fantastic.

Watery, citrusy, musky and refreshing scent.
It is a Woody - Chypre type of perfume.
I think it is a special and elegant perfume.
This perfume used to be called Montana Homme, but when the original Montana Homme got re-launched the name was changed into Montana pour Homme.

Not too fond of this one. Too much green. Comes across with too much of a camphor/menthol note that reminds me too much of a waterd down ben gay.

Montanna can be had for peanuts, but it will cover the cost of dinner. This is clean, fresh, musky, and amber all in one luxurious bottle. When i eventually tracked it down, I found the original red box stuff so overpowering and sweaty, and of the late seventies, early eighties vintage, that it has got to be taken out on a cold day and used sparingly. If you overspray pour Homme, then no problems will arise, you will just smell better, longer. - Is it great? no .... Is it poor, definately not, will it be as fresh as a daisy all day- you bet !!!

2 bottles of original red box 'Parfum D'Homme anyone'?

Bah. I tried to like you, Montana pour Homme. Why did you desert me? I loved your spicy flavoring but you left me a queasy, open feeling in my heart. Perhaps you will find another out there somewhere. I know you've moved on. No, you haven't? Good. I want to keep you here, unformulated. At first you seemed like a jerk, with your spicy head and smooth features but at your hear you are a flower. A delicate flower wanting to bloom. Make yourself bloom! Oh you need water? No, I am not your water, you need to go elsewhere for that. Sulk in your basenotes of musk and grass and call me if you feel like it.

Montana pour Homme has a zippy green-citrus opening that is very perky and fresh. The artemsia gives this a green sparkle. The middle is good, a bit floral but not too sweet. I can smell a bit of powdery iris but it is not heavy. In fact, I’d say this not really powdery scent but rather a soapy green scent. The wood tones are very light. The drydown is light too, pleasant musk and amber. This is a good daytime scent. It is a little bit like Guerlain’s Mouchoir de Monsieur, but more modern in style. Also a bit like Liz Claiborne for Men but more subtle. I like it.

A citrus bomb that lasts forever, unlike 99% of the citrus frags out there. Tried it for a week, found it too overbearing; gave it to a friend and he reported tons of compliments from the babelets at work.

*sigh*

In fact he re-ordered this! He's now a minor league frag addict.
It's the one that comes in a blue box, not the original masterpiece.

WAY too much bergamot -- smells like my grandma's Earl Grey tea fell into a vat of iris and patchouli.

That said, this one's not really awful, but it's not even a pale reflection of the original (and stupidly discontinued!) Parfum d'Homme.

WHY, CLAUDE, WHY?

I didn't like Montana first notes, since I thought it smelled a bit like an old man's cologne. Then, to my surprise, after some minutes it changed to a nice soapy, powdery like fragrance and I couldn't stop smelling. It is important to wait some minutes to discover the true beauty of this fragrance. I guess that in the same way that some fragrances because horrible after the first notes disappear, others, like Montana, become a lot better once the dry down has started. It's a unique mixture between floral, spicy and musky notes and has an absolutely erotic, oriental and irresistible karma. This is great for people who like soapy powdery fragrances.

The bergamont and bitter orange are quite dominant and long lasting. In fact, this is the longest lasting citrus scent I've tried. The amber and musk are present too, and on warm days this scent evolves well.
The bottle looks much the same as the Montana Parfum de Homme. Same "babel" design, only a bluish color instead of brown.
This one comes in a blue box instead of red, and is nothing like the original scent except the drydown gives hints of it.
I love this scent, and have smelled none like it, but wish they had not discontinued the Parfum de Homme.
There is a wide range for this product according to a brochure in the box; everything from spray and stick deodorants to shaving and shower gels. I've yet to see any of them around though.
