Montaigne Perfume by Caron, As elegant as the Rue de Montaigne that it was named after, Montaigne is a sophisticated citrus perfume with ingredients as vibrant and rich as the yellow-orange color within the bottle. Originally released in 1987, this women’s fragrance opens crisply with tangerine, bitter orange and mimosa, accented by the floral sweetness of jasmine and the orangey hints within zesty coriander. Captivating narcissus comprises the fragrance’s heart, with the tang of black currant keeping the senses awake just so. Finally, at the base, sandalwood, vanilla, amber and musk mallow combine to linger for hours. It’s little wonder that this fragrance was seen as fit for a rerelease as part of La Collection Privée.
