Claude Montana Montana 2014

What do you call it? Coup de foudre?
Yet it is just "White Peach meets Jasmine": But, wow! What a combination!
I never would have thought it could excite me so much.

I only discovered the fragrances of Claude Montana quite late and for some unknown reason declined the offer to receive a bottle of this scent as a gift.
Perhaps it was also the feeling of not wanting to completely deplete the lovely Parfuma, who always generously gifted me many bottles. I did quite shamelessly fall upon her folder "Perfumes can go (or similar)"
(I feel a bit ashamed about that!)

After my somewhat disappointing experiences with "Parfum de Peau" (how I longed for a test of this creation), I also kept a bit reserved until I asked for a sample of Claude Montana's eponymous fragrance.

But since the first contact, I have really become a bit infatuated with this nose-, skin-, and soul-pleaser.
The thought of expanding my already quite extensive collection with one of these very unique bottles grew with each application.
After all, I am here teetering from "desire to enjoyment .."
(Of course, I must once again invoke Mr. Geheimrat Goethe.)

What a fragrance experience: More enticing with each passing moment!
White, ripe, velvety-skinned, fruity, and aromatic peach nestles into a bed of numerous jasmine petals, radiating its well-being generously!
And I suddenly have the antennas to catch this radiance and this time am only slightly disturbed by the constant presence of bergamot.
(It doesn't really disturb, but once I fixate on something, I react a bit addictively like Niki de Saint Phalle with her "shooting pictures" (Tirs)!)
The rich, ripe rose aromas that now develop are pampered by sandalwood and cedar, becoming silkier, creamier, and more animalistic. Wow!
Nothing beats a well-groomed hint of eroticism in a fragrance composition!
And this is ultimately ensured by the components of the base note:
Amber and white, cuddly musk foam flirt quite unabashedly with the sweetness of tonka bean and a hefty, yet distinctly seductive portion of spicy galbanum.
Even on my very cool skin, a kind of "L’Elixir d’Amore" develops.

I am thrilled and once again experience: "Unexpectedly often comes!"
Too many clichés! Sorry! I notice it myself!
But "Claude Montana" as a fragrance has caught me completely off guard!
That's how I feel when I am completely surprised by something I didn't expect.
After all, it was only my constantly alert curiosity that led me to test "Claude Montana".
And now this!
