What YSL Grain de Poudre should have been.

Upon my first wearings, the Mountain Air accord and the tea/suede combo was very prominent which I really loved. All I could think of is it was a better version of YSL's Grain de Poudre who shares those same notes, but would always end up cloying me (probably due to the musk in the base). I can't imagine Montabaco ever feeling cloying. It's the easiest scent to wear out of my entire collection. It's fresh, clean, well blended and unique

After a week of wearing it every day, the orange replaced the tea smell on my skin which I really don't care for. That was my first gripe with it other than the price (I have a decant).

Lastly I could never detect any hint of tobacco, which is a shame because it was one of the main selling points.

I'm gonna enjoy wearing my decant but I will not be getting a full bottle.

I love Tobacco fragrances. This is one of the best.

I have been wearing Montabaco for a long time now and I have never got bored of it. It simply is gorgeous and can be worn all year round. This is one I love wearing on Summer evenings because it is difficult to find a Tobacco fragrance that works in Summer. The quality is fantastic and you can tell how well blended it is. I have been looking for the Verano version which I'm sure would replace this in the warmer months but I just can't find it. Such a shame but this one still works fine. I don't like using the word masterpiece to describe many fragrances but this one really is.

... finally something else..

I went today to test really special, or rather scents, which not everyone has, which not everyone knows and above all scents, which one does not get everywhere.
I started testing some. The lady could not inspire with the first 6 things. To be fair, I won't mention the stamps.

Then she brought out this gorgeous guy who looks anything but gorgeous in his bottle.

Whew, I thought, can this be something???

OH YES, can.

I would say or I can't really see the classic pyramid here. Rather a perfect symbiosis of more than two fragrance components. Juniper, sage, cardamom, leather complement the tobacco. Plus, there's a great dash of moss.
I have to say that I am not a fan of leather at all and actually not so much of tobacco.
Figuratively I would choose a wet coniferous forest in autumn. But they don't walk on the paths but on the mossy ground in the undergrowth. Only the tobacco doesn't fit into the picture:-) but never mind.
I think he's very sexy. The wearer, more like a man, is confident in his appearance and personality. An old soul with a strong character that nothing throws off course.

wonderful!
