"Soap Opera" at its Finest!
There are fragrances that have long been on the wish list but have not appeared anywhere when you were looking for them. Searched the souk, consulted the swap forum. Not to be found, as if erased! Then, having given up the search, what does not exist, I cannot get. Period!
But today I visited TK-Maxx since I was in town. Strolled over to the perfume stand, moderately stocked, just to see what was available. I hadn’t even thought about the "Black Montale."
Up on the left was a "Piver" that I already have... below it a newer "Madame Rochas," .. already in my perfume cabinet! Behind it were 2 "Cabotine," which are also already at home with me... two "Cabochard" from 2019, also already there. Further down the shelf was something fruity sweet.... boring!!
In between was a black box in the typical TK-Maxx plastic casing (like all the previously examined ones)... opened my eyes, read "Montana," reached for it to take a closer look... rubbed my eyes... "is this real?" I asked myself, but YES! It was the Montana Black Edition! I just hadn’t believed I would find it anywhere. Now it had unexpectedly come to me. Cheap, at a special price of 20 euros for 125 ml. THIS IS NOW MINE! And I went to the checkout. (I left the SECOND one there for someone else. Now the 2nd test today already. (Previously, I had another fragrance on that is just as strong as Montana) Now it is "Solo" and easy to recognize what it has to offer!
It starts off powerfully-fougère-like with pepper, citrus, and lavender. The tarragon in between also crystallizes out. The "intro" is already not bad at all. Waiting with anticipation to see what other notes will come. I clearly recognize spicy flowers. Clove, jasmine, and rose make a good figure! Like fine spice soap that used to be available from "Kappus" or / and Roger & Gallet. Something green-piney comes through. Pine resin comes to mind. Exactly!! The "soap" becomes more resinous-green and conifers send their regards!
Later, after two or three hours, I then enjoy a whole "opera" of fragrant essences, all powerful and woody-herbaceous. "Fern and moss"!
"Cedar resin and patchouli"!! "Leather and incense"!!
Everything comes gradually in a firm march to complete the wonderful "soap opera." "Fougère-wood-moss-flower-spice-all sorts of soap in the best manner. A chance find???
Certainly! It just fell into my lap! Literally and word for word. The "Final Act" is far from over!!
"Blind purchase of a wish fragrance" successfully accomplished!!!

Thanks for the tip... I just went to Maxx and got it again! Still just as wonderful as it was back when I first had it!

Amazing, I felt the same way. Walked into TK Maxx feeling pretty hopeless, and came out happily surprised 😃 Great find (and, hehehe, so cheap)!
